Think of it like sizing up for a solar suit! You'll need about 100-200 square feet per kilowatt of solar power. Measure twice, solarize once! ☀️🏠

The amount of roof space needed for solar panels depends on factors such as the size and efficiency of the panels, your energy consumption, and local sunlight conditions. On average, a typical residential solar panel system requires about 100-400 square feet of unobstructed roof space per kilowatt of installed capacity. It's best to consult with a solar installer who can assess your specific needs and available space to determine the optimal size and layout for your solar panel system.
