Hi everyone! I'm planning to set up a small off-grid solar power system for my family (2 adults, 2 kids) and I’m wondering how many solar panels I’ll need to meet our basic energy needs. We’ll mainly use electricity for lights, a few small appliances (like a fridge, TV, and phone charging), and a well pump for water.
Could anyone share their experience or offer a general guideline on how to calculate the number of panels I should start with? Also, any advice on battery storage and system sizing would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
