  • 1. Higher Efficiency Compared to lower wattage panels, 360 watt panels have a higher efficiency rating, meaning they can produce more electricity from the same amount of sunlight. This efficiency is especially beneficial for those with limited roof space, allowing them to generate a significant amount of energy without having to install numerous lower-wattage panels.


  • For example, if we consider panels that are rated at 350 watts, a 4kW system would typically require approximately 11 to 12 panels (4,000 watts ÷ 350 watts per panel = ~11.4 panels). This means sufficient roof space is needed to accommodate these panels, which brings us to the next aspect size.


  • 2. Cost-Effective While the initial investment in a 1000W solar panel may be higher than traditional panels, the long-term savings on electricity bills can be substantial. The increased output per panel means that fewer panels are needed to achieve the desired energy production, potentially lowering installation costs.

  • 1. Solar Panels The cost of solar panels is one of the most significant components of the total system price. The price per watt for residential solar panels can range from $2 to $3, depending on the brand and efficiency ratings. For a 5kW system, this can lead to an expenditure of about $10,000 to $15,000 for the panels themselves.
