To estimate the size of the PV system required, use: S = D / (365 * H * r) Where: S = size of PV system (kW) D = total energy demand (kWh) H = average daily solar radiation Estimates the energy production and cost of energy of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems.

To do that, follow this calculation below: Height Difference = Sin (Tilt Angle) x Module Width ***Make sure you're calculating in degrees, not radians*** In this case, I am using a SolarWorld module with a width of 39. 41 inches at a tilt angle of 15º.
