Calculate Required Solar Panel Capacity
This Solar Panel Sizing Calculator helps calculate required solar panel size, inverter capacity, battery backup, and daily energy consumption for homes, industries, and commercial systems.
What is Wh?
Wh = Watt-hour
It is the unit of electrical energy consumption.
Wh = Watt × Hour
Example:
- 100W bulb running for 5 hours
- Energy Consumption = 100 × 5 = 500Wh
1000Wh = 1kWh (1 Unit of Electricity)

Solar Panel Sizing Formula
The required solar panel size is calculated using:
Solar Size (W) = Daily Load (Wh) ÷ Sunlight Hours
Example Calculation
- Daily Energy Consumption = 5000Wh
- Sunlight Hours = 5 Hours
- Solar Panel Rating = 550W
Required Solar Size = 5000 ÷ 5 = 1000W
Number of Panels = 1000 ÷ 550 = 1.81 ≈ 2 Panels
Number of Panels = 1000 ÷ 550 = 1.81 ≈ 2 Panels
