Use this calculator to quickly estimate of how many large solar panels you could fit onto

a roof and roughly calculate how much power they could generate (kWhrs). The number
of panels, the roof layout, the overall system size including mounting equipment and
example power output figures (kWhrs) are provided for each system.

Mounting details:
Solar panel details:
(based on the 245W, Roof mounted (based
Mono, Black): on the On-Roof
mounting system)
Length: 1675mm Tiled roof with
Width: 1001mm wooden rafters
Depth 31mm South Facing
30 roof pitch
Output: 245Wp
No shading

Energy output estimates are based on general SAP 2009 calculations for a south facing
UK tiled roof with a 30 pitch. The SAP 2009 calculation is:

0.8 x kWp x 1073 (S-solar radiation) x 1 (ZPV-overshading factor)

Solar Panels can be mounted in portrait or landscape to fit the available space. The
quickest way to use the calculator is to start from the width, then the height of the
available mounting area and match the system size from there.

This calculator should only be used for quick reference; please see system design or
contact us if you would like more detailed power estimates and roof designs tailored to
real roofspaces, factoring in equipment specifications, the arrays location and the roof
aspect (E, S, W).
