Solar Panel Calculate solar panel system output and savings. — free online calculator.

Formula

Daily kWh = panels × panel wattage × peak sun hours / 1000; daily energy value = daily kWh × electricity rate; 30-day kWh = daily kWh × 30.
  • Estimate idealized daily solar energy output and energy value before system losses, shading and export restrictions. Electricity rate is per kWh in your chosen currency. 30-day estimate assumes identical sun hours each day.
  • The main inputs are Number of Panels, Panel Wattage, Peak Sun Hours per Day, Electricity Rate. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Use the units, labels and assumptions shown beside each input so the formula is applied consistently.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Solar Panel Calculate solar panel system output and savings.

Inputs
  • Number of Panels: 10
  • Panel Wattage: 400
  • Peak Sun Hours per Day: 5
  • Electricity Rate: 0.13

10 panels × 400 W × 5 peak-sun hours = 20 kWh/day; at 0.13 per kWh, daily energy value = 2.60; 30-day output = 600 kWh.
