How many hours of sunlight do you need for solar panels?

• <div><p>Solar panels should get at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. It’s even better if sunlight reaches panels between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is enough to power a home, depending on your solar system’s size and energy needs. Remember that panels will generate some power under cloudy skies or in the shade, and many systems compensate for lower sun exposure by drawing energy from the grid or battery storage.</p></div>

Q: Can you put too many solar panels on your house?

• <div><p>While you can minimally overshoot the number of solar panels you need for your home, it's not smart to go too far. Not only is the extra cost unnecessary, but your state may put caps on how much energy your home can produce and send back to the grid. It is always best to work with a solar energy professional to determine the best system size for you.</p></div>

Q: What questions should you ask your solar panel inspector?

• <div><p>There are a few great <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hiring-solar-installer-ask-these-8-questions.htm">questions to ask a solar contractor</a> or inspector when you speak to them. You&rsquo;ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It&rsquo;s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my roof can support solar panels?

• <div><p>The best way to know if your roof can support solar panels is to hire a structural engineer. They&rsquo;ll look at your roof and approve the design of your solar panel system or suggest changes. The best roofing for solar panels is made from strong materials like asphalt shingles and metal, but tile and gravel will work. Softer materials like thatch or temporary structures are not a good fit.</p></div>

Q: How many solar panels do I need for my home?

• <div><p>The average homeowner needs around <b>22 solar panels</b>, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you&rsquo;ll need fewer panels if you use below-average amounts of electricity, or more than 22 if you use above-average amounts of electricity. The number of panels also depends on the output of each panel. The average is around 400 watts, but you might need more panels if you install less capable equipment. Since there are so many variables, you should have a professional size your system.</p></div>
