Installation of the Solar Panels: Prerequisites
- An average house without AC uses around 10,000 kWH a year, [redacted] kWH with AC.
- A solar panel produces 2 kWH a day, which sums up to around 730 kWH a year.
- This means at most the average person will need over 14 solar panels to power their entire house.
- The average solar panel costs around $8,000 dollars.
- That means you need $112,000 dollars for all 14 solar panels.
- Adding in that some days will be cloudy, most likely needs 28 more solar panels.
- This will be an extra $224,000.
- Solar battery costs around $1000 and store up to 10kWH.
- Recommended three, as a house without AC uses around 25 kWH a day without AC, so if you have three you can survive one really cloudy day.
You don’t have to use solar panels, but it is the most known option.
