350-watt Solar Panels Could Be Your Perfect Fit

Solar panels come in various shapes, sizes, and energy producing ratings.  When you are thinking about going solar, you should do an energy evaluation to see what size solar panel system you will need.  If it's over 300W, then maybe a 350-watt system is the one for you.  So, the relevant metric to consider when comparing solar panel options is a panel’s power rating, referred to as wattage. 350-watt (W) solar panels are close to the average wattage of solar panels available today and are an excellent panel option for many types of solar projects.

Most solar panels installed on houses or businesses today are between 250 to 365 watts per panel, and solar panels beyond and below that range are also available. To conclude if 350W solar panels are right for you, it is essential to understand what the choices are and how much energy 350W panels produce.

Many producers make 350W solar panels. Below is a list of 350W panels, each listed with their efficiency and the firm that produces them. Some manufacturers make more than one 350W panel model, but only one model per company is listed here.

How many 350-watt solar panels do you require?

A single 350W solar panel is rated to generate 350 watts of power, but the actual power output you see from your panels depends on many elements, including geographic place, shade, and the tilt of your panels.

The quantity of solar panels you’ll install depends on the amount of electricity you want to generate and the area available for solar panels. The table below compares different sized solar panel systems by the volume of 350W solar panels needed for each system size. In some cases, the quantity of 350W panels is rounded to the next closest level of panel.

How many 350-watt solar panels do you require?

Utilizing six 350W solar panels will generate roughly 3,000 kilowatts hours (kWh) of electricity, which is significantly below how much power a standard single-family household uses. Installing 17 panels for a 6 kW system will produce enough electricity to offset substantially or eliminate your power bill with solar.

How much space will a solar energy system using 350W panels take on your roof or property?

To calculate estimated space required, we concluded that 350W solar panels are, on average, 16.5 square feet (5.5’ by 3’).

How much area will a solar installation with 350-watt solar panels take?

350W solar panels are approximately standard when it comes to space efficiency on your roof, and a conventional roof of a single-family home will likely have enough space for the number of panels required to offset electricity costs significantly. If you have a small roof or a roof you don’t want to be treated with solar panels, consider a ground-mounted solar system.
