How many sq ft of solar cells will provide 50% of the average fl home’s power needs? Cost for entire system?
What do you want to call the average?
Wild guessing here so you can get the idea of how it works and be able to get your own answers.
I think the average house uses from 500 to 600 kWh per month. So using 550 kWh, half is 225 kWh divided by 30 days is 7.5 watts a day. Florida gets about 5.5 hours of peak sun a day so you would need about a 1.3 kWh in panels. Now find a solar electric site like mine (smiles) and find the panels you want and see what size they are. 1300 watts would be 13 100 watt panels right?
It is not that simple but should get you started.
Enjoy.
