We have a park near our locality and we have heard that our government is planning to install solar panels surrounding it. I have always loved the idea so wanted to know more about when the work was going to start, how many panels were going to get installed and more. It was being said that about 5kW solar panels will be installed initially so I asked an uncle how much area
required for 5kw solar panel? He was quite delighted to know about my interest and said that there is a proper formula to find out how much area is required for 5kw solar panel but he said about a 500 sq ft area will be required for it. As per thumb rule 100 sq ft is needed for 1kW so 5kW will need 500 sq ft.

What is the formula to calculate the solar installation area?Solar panels can be of different shapes and sizes but if you follow a simple rule, you can get the area yourself easily.
Area required by the solar panel= size of the system (in Watts) / number of panels required
For example, if a panel is 1600mm long and 990mm wide, it takes about 1680/996= 1.61 sqm approximately area
How many solar panels on roof space required for 5kw solar system?
Solar panels can be of several types and watts. If you are installing 370W panels, about 14 solar panels will be required and they will actually give you 5.18W. Each of these panels are about 1.8mts * 1mt so a roof space of 25.2 sq mt will be required.
It will be best if you ask the experts about it or else you can never know the exact number, area or more details about the solar panel.
I hope this gives you an idea about the area required for 5kw solar panel
