Steps for Calculating a Solar Energy System using Protona AI.
- Analyze Energy Use: Review electricity bills to determine your average monthly energy consumption (kWh).
- Assess Sunlight Availability: Check your location’s solar potential using resources like Project Sunroof (https://sunroof.withgoogle.com/) and note any major shading issues.
- Estimate System Size: Use an online solar calculator for a rough initial estimate. This might give a range (e.g., 5kW to 7kW system).
- Optimize Orientation & Tilt: Ideally, panels face south (Northern Hemisphere) or north (Southern Hemisphere) with a tilt angle matching your latitude.
- Consider Battery Storage: Decide if you need backup power during outages or want to store energy for nighttime use.
- Get Quotes: Contact multiple solar installers comparing costs, incentives, and equipment options.
- Professional Consultation: Have a solar expert review your options, assess your site specifics, and finalize the best design.
