For medium usage (2,700kWh/year), 8 to 13 panels would suffice.

Some can be weaker depending on the type of structure you’re installing panels on. Roof materials also play a role since materials like concrete tiles might need additional mounting and others like rubber or reflective materials may lower the efficiency of the solar panels.</p> </div><div class="wordpress-heading u-heading-3 wordpress-heading--h3" style="--38f5543e:left;" data-v-62fde062> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">How many square meters are available</h3> </div><div class="wordpress-paragraph" style="--25ab227a:left;" data-v-c0f9f52b> <p>How much space you have on your roof is also a major consideration.
