Technical FAQs 4

How many solar panels does a 3 kilowatt solar system need?

As residential solar panels are generally rated between 330 watts and 400 watts these days, a 3 kilowatt (3,000 watt) solar system will require about 7-10 solar panels. A typical solar panel is around 1m x 1.7m, therefore a 3kW system will require about 12-17 m 2 of roof space, depending on the wattage of the panels.

Does a 3KW Solar System need a 2KW inverter?

A 3kW system typically needs a 2kW inverter, as your solar panel system should be roughly 50% larger than your inverter, as a general rule. This is largely due to the fact that in most UK locations, your solar panels won’t often reach their peak power rating, since our weather usually fails to match standard test conditions.
