Depending on your energy consumption and the orientation of your panels, the number of solar panels needed may vary. Generally, a south-facing or east-west-facing configuration for a 3.3 kW solar PV system with typical daily consumption requires around 10 solar panels. This 10-panel system would easily power your home’s base load plus a white good, i.e., a dishwasher or washing machine, even in dull weather.
Each square metre of solar panel generates around 195 W on a sunny, clear day. To use a more realistic example, a typical 3.3 kW residential solar PV installation that is about 20 square metres in area will generate around 3,200 kW per year, which is about 45% of the average annual electricity consumed in an average Irish home.
Depending on your energy consumption and the orientation of your solar panels, the roof space required to install solar panels varies. For a typical 3.3 kW solar PV system in Cork, around 20 square metres are needed to install about 10 solar panels.
