Let’s break it down into 5 simple steps.

1.Understand Your Electricity Usage

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.

2.Evaluate Your Roof Space & Sunlight

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.
