How Many Panels Does My House Need?

Your yearly kWh, your roof and one Denver number. A five-minute sum before you shop.

Find last year’s electricity use on your bill — most Colorado homes land between 7,000 and 11,000 kWh. Then divide by what one panel makes in a year here.

The Denver number

A 430 W panel on a south-facing roof makes about 620 kWh a year along the Front Range. East or west roofs make about 15% less.

  • 7,000 kWh a year: about 11–12 panels (the Starter kit plus one).
  • 9,000 kWh: about 15 panels.
  • With an EV: add five to six panels per daily commute.

Or skip the sum: send a bill and your address and an engineer emails a ready-to-checkout cart, usually the same working day.
