Optimally sized on grid solar system on a rooftop, ensuring maximum sunlight use and energy savings
Start by checking your past 3–6 months of electricity bills.
Look for monthly kWh (kilowatt-hours) used.
Example:
If you use an average of 300 kWh per month, that becomes your benchmark for sizing your solar system.
Your roof area and exposure to sunlight play a major role.
Angle 8 degrees to 15 degrees or south facing roofs with minimal shade are ideal.
Ensure at least 320 sq.ft. per 5kW of solar panels.
Pro Tip: Use a solar professional like Deep Tec or online tools like Google Project Sunroof to assess your roof.
