HOW MANY SOLAR PANELS DO YOU NEED TO GET THIS #ZEROBILL?
Know your energy consumption
Contents [hide]
Determining a household’s kilowatt hour consumption is crucial and can be found on your electricity bill. It is important to identify the common daytime devices you use and what times of the day. All of this data helps us to determine your average energy needs. We can then design and adapt a system according to your needs.
Check the size of your panels and your roof
Depending on the brand, type and wattage, the sizes of your solar modules can vary. This can affect your overall system size, especially if you have limited or shady roof space. When space is tight, consider buying solar panels with a higher wattage and efficiency, as fewer high wattage solar panels could still meet your daily electricity needs. Zero bill builds take up a lot of rooftop space, so it’s important to effectively maximize space and get the most efficient components for your solar PV system.
Multiply the recommended system
Once you have your average energy needs, you need to multiply it by about 3 to 4. Zero bill with a grid tie system is only ideally possible with the combination of a massive solar system construction plus the “net metering” program. This program allows you to export excess energy to the utility company and when you export so much electricity that greatly offsets your nighttime consumption the credits pile up which can be extremely worthwhile as they are later translated into a #zero bill!
A #ZeroBill build isn’t cheap, but you can work closely with your solar provider to plan your solar energy system according to your budget for the time being, and then slowly work your way towards your dream “#ZeroBill-Build” in the future.
