Introduction:
One of the most common questions we get at FabriTech Solar™ is: “Is my roof big enough for solar?” The good news is, even smaller roofs can generate enough energy to power your home or business.
How Much Space Is Required?
On average, 1 kW of solar power requires around 100 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop space.
| System Size | Roof Space Needed | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| 1–3 kW | 100–300 sq. ft. | Homes, Small Shops |
| 5–10 kW | 500–1000 sq. ft. | Villas, Offices |
| 20+ kW | 2000+ sq. ft. | Factories, Institutions |
Things That Matter:
- Shadow from trees or nearby buildings
- Roof direction (south-facing is best in India)
- Slope and structure safety
Pro Tip:
Flat roofs can accommodate adjustable panel angles for better sun exposure.
