I started researching about solar power for my home. While there are several Solar Power Calculators out there on the internet. I found myself creating this calculator to help me figure out how many solar panels I need and how much it&rsquo;ll cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To figure out how many panels you need for your home. You first need to figure out what your average monthly power usage is in your electric bill. Second, you find out what your photovoltaic power potential in your area. Third, you figure out what the power output and dimensions of solar panels you are considering then plug in all the figures in the calculator below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post we talk about the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>What is the typical power usage per month of a US Home<\/li><li>What is the Photovoltaic Power Potential of your Area<\/li><li>What is the typical solar panel output and dimensions<\/li><li>Average Cost of Solar Systems in Each State and the Federal Solar Incentives<\/li><li>Solar System Project Calculator<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-solar-power-computation-calculator-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-solar-power-computation-calculator-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-solar-power-computation-calculator-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20640%20427'%3E%3Crect%20width='640'%20height='427'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1148 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-solar-power-computation-calculator-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-solar-power-computation-calculator-1.jpg.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-solar-power-computation-calculator-1.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/solarpowergenie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/home-solar-power-computation-calculator-1-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Typical Power Usage Per Month of US Residential Dwelling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), an average American home uses about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/tools\/faqs\/faq.php?id=97&amp;t=3#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20the%20average%20annual,about%20886%20kWh%20per%20month.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">886kWh per month<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my home, I use about 700kWh per month with a plug-in hybrid car being charged every night at around 12am till around 8am.
