As a homeowner in Hampshire, you're likely considering ways to reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint. Installing solar panels is an excellent way to achieve this, but you may be wondering how many solar panels you can fit on your roof.

Before determining the number of solar panels you can install, it's essential to assess your roof's solar potential. This involves evaluating the size, orientation, and condition of your roof. A south-facing roof with minimal shading is ideal for solar panel installation.

To calculate the number of solar panels you can fit on your roof, you'll need to consider the following factors:

1. Roof size: Measure the length and width of your roof to determine its total area.
2. Panel size: Standard solar panels are around 1.6 meters long and 1 meter wide.
3. Panel efficiency: More efficient panels can generate more energy per hour, allowing you to install fewer panels.
4. Energy needs: Determine how much energy you want to generate to power your home.

Hampshire receives an average of 1,500 hours of sunshine per year, making it an ideal location for solar panel installation. However, the amount of sunshine your roof receives can vary depending on its orientation and shading.

The number of solar panels you can fit on your roof depends on the factors mentioned above. As a rough estimate, a typical semi-detached house in Hampshire can accommodate:

• 8-12 solar panels on a small roof (around 20-30 square meters)
• 12-16 solar panels on a medium-sized roof (around 30-40 square meters)
• 16-20 solar panels on a large roof (around 40-50 square meters)
