If you plan to install home solar panels, it makes sense to determine their production potential. It hardly takes two to three minutes for this process. PVWatts, a free online calculator by NREL, has simplified this process for us.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Visit https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/.
• Enter your address in the ‘Get Started’ present on the header section of the page and then press GO.
• If the default weather location is closest to your house, confirm it. Else, use the map to locate the closest one.
• Press the orange arrow that you will find to the page’s right side that takes you to the System Info page.
• On the page that appears, press the big orange arrow that takes you to the PVWatts results.
• The number that appears on the screen is the total usable electricity that can be produced by a medium-sized solar system.

 

You can also connect with us for identifying the exact production potential of these panels. We can also guide through the process of installing solar panels in your home.
