Setting Up a Solar Energy System in Your House

A growing number of homes are thinking about installing solar panel systems to lower their electricity costs and lessen their environmental impact as renewable energy sources become more widely available and reasonably priced. Calculating the right size solar panel system to fulfil your energy needs is crucial, especially if you intend to power a house with 20 lights, 8 fans, 1 water pump, and 1 air conditioner.

Evaluating Your Energy Requirements

Let's calculate the approximate energy usage of each appliance to establish the necessary solar panel capacity:

Lighting: Considering a 10-watt lightbulb for each:

10 watts times 20 lights is 200 watts.
Admirers: Considering 75 watts for each fan:


75 watts times 8 fans is 600 watts.
Pump for Water: Assuming a 500 watt water pump:

500 watts times one water pump is 500 watts.
Air Conditioner: Assuming 1.5 kW (1500 watts) of power for the air conditioner:

1500 watts x 1 AC is 1500 watts.
Let's now determine the overall amount of power needed:

200 watts plus 600 watts plus 500 watts plus 1500 watts equals 2800 watts in total wattage.
Daily Energy Use
We must project how many hours a day each appliance will run in order to convert this to daily energy consumption. Considering:

Five hours a day are spent using lights.
Fans are utilised eight hours a day.
Every day, a water pump is utilised for an hour.

The Selection and Installation of Solar Panels

Standard solar panels have a rating of between 300 and 350 watts each, and they are usually available 

in standard sizes. To fulfil the 3.83 kW prerequisite:
Quantity of panels

= 3830 watts
350 watts per panel, or about 11 panels
350 watts per panel is the number of panels.
3830 watts with about 11 panels 

To meet your energy needs, about eleven 350-watt panels would be required. However, you can think about building a somewhat larger system, say around 4 kW, which would require about 12 panels, to account for potential increases in energy demand or less-than-ideal conditions.

Extra Things to Think About

Battery Storage: Think about making an investment in battery storage systems if you wish to store energy for usage on cloudy days.


A high-quality inverter is necessary to transform the DC electricity produced by the solar panels into AC power, which is then used by household appliances.

Installing a monitoring system will allow you to keep track of the amount of solar electricity you produce and use in real time.

Professional Installation: To guarantee the system is installed professionally and safely, choose a professional solar installation.

You may greatly lessen your reliance on the grid and take advantage of renewable energy by carefully estimating your energy needs and choosing the right solar panel installation.
