Solar Panel Production Calculator

Calculate the potential electricity production of your solar panel system based on total area, efficiency, solar radiation, and performance ratio (PR).

Source / method note

The calculation is based on the formula E = A × r × H × PR. A: Total solar panel Area (m²), r: Solar panel yield or efficiency (%), H: Annual average solar radiation on tilted panels (shading not included) (kWh/m²), PR: Performance Ratio. The performance ratio evaluates the quality of a photovoltaic installation (losses due to cables, inverter, temperature, etc.) and is generally accepted as 75% (usually between 70% and 80%).

Legal / official rate note

This tool is designed for educational, informational, and preliminary planning purposes only. In real-world applications, actual energy output may vary significantly due to shading, weather patterns, panel orientation, temperature degradation, and equipment aging. Please consult an energy professional for precise calculations.
