How to calculate solar daily energy

This calculator finds daily solar energy output from array size and peak sun hours — the same core relationship used for solar production estimates.

How the calculation works

Daily energy = Array size (kW) × Peak sun hours.

Example

A 5 kW array at 4.5 peak sun hours: 5×4.5 = 22.5 kWh/day.

Frequently asked questions

How is Result calculated?

Pro Tips for Solar Daily Energy

  1. Peak sun hours data specific to your location (available from solar resource maps or utility resources) gives a much more accurate estimate than a generic assumption.
  2. Multiply daily output by 30 or 365 for rough monthly or annual production estimates, keeping in mind seasonal variation isn't captured by a single daily figure.

Common Solar Daily Energy Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using a single daily output figure to represent the whole year without accounting for significant seasonal variation in peak sun hours across most climates.
