How to calculate the required power of solar panels for a house?

I understand that the capacity of the solar panels must match the energy consumption of my home. But how do I know exactly how to determine this? What do I need to pay attention to when calculating? What factors can affect the result?

Also wondering what online calculators or tools you have used to calculate? Or maybe there are experts or companies that can help with this?

I'd love to hear your experience and advice on calculating the required solar panel capacity for a home!

First, it's a good idea to estimate your average daily energy consumption based on your energy receipts or use online calculators that take into account your geographic location, roof pitch and average annual solar radiation. I used the calculators on the A1Solar Store website for my calculations, and they were very helpful. With their help, I was able to accurately determine the required panel wattage to cover my energy consumption. It is also important to consider the energy losses in the system and the need for backup power in case of unforeseen circumstances.

I recommend estimating your daily energy consumption. This can be done by looking at your energy bills for the last few months. To calculate the capacity of the panels, it is also important to consider the geographical location of your home and the average annual solar radiation. Online calculators are often recommended on forums to help you determine the exact wattage needed.
