How many panels do you need? How much space do photovoltaic panels take up? How much does a 6 kW photovoltaic system yield?Choices of life and more conscious and prudent consumption can lead to the desire to install a photovoltaic system on the roof of your home.When you are a family of 4 or more components, the use of electricity for all devices is often huge and - in this case - a 6 kW photovoltaic system would be exactly what it would take.But how many photovoltaic panels do you need to generate 6 kW?Find out by continuing to read this article!Let's move on to the core of the age-old question: how many photovoltaic panels do you need to generate 6kW?Before asking the problem, it is necessary to highlight a basic difference: the efficiency of a single photovoltaic panel must not be confused with the watts that this can generate.There are also panels with 600 watts of power on the market, but this does not mean that the panel in question takes up less space.Ultimately, the size of the panel is not proportional to its power.Consequently, the necessary number of photovoltaic panels for the construction of a 6kW photovoltaic system depends on the watts of each individual panel.If, for example, you decide to purchase 600 watt power panels, for a 6kW system you would need a total of 10 photovoltaic panels (600 x 10 = 6kW).If, on the other hand, the panels were of 300 watts, the panels needed would be 20.How much space do photovoltaic panels take up?As previously mentioned, the power generated by the photovoltaic panel is in no way proportional to its size.As well as the efficiency of the panel itself will affect its size.Taking into consideration the photovoltaic system previously taken into consideration, the one composed of 10 panels of 600 watts each, on average occupies about 50 square meters.But, if the space at your disposal is not enough, you can think of opting for the purchase of panels with higher efficiency, which will therefore be smaller up to occupy a total space of 30-35 square meters.If you don't even have this space, why is your roof flat?The panels would be mounted with an optimal inclination and orientation to occupy as little space as possible without, obviously, shading each other, affecting the production of energy.How much does a 6 kW photovoltaic system yield?If your system is completely free from any possible obstacle that generates shade during the day, the variables to calculate - approximately - the yield of your 6 kW photovoltaic system: geographical position, inclination, orientation and quality of the plant.Among these, the factor that due to force majeure cannot be managed in any way is obviously the geographical position.It is estimated that, on average, a 6kW photovoltaic system can produce at least 7200 kW / k in a year in northern Italy, at least 8100 kW / h in central Italy and at least 9000 kW / h in southern Italy.Request a free quote on PG Casa.© Italiaonline SpA 2022 Management and coordination of Libero Acquisition S.á rl VAT number 03970540963
