How many solar cells are required to generate 6-7kw(kilo watts) of electricity?


Question:


Answer:
between 40 and 120 square meter of solar panels, depending on what you want exactly.

40m² will give you 6kW DURING THE DAY and nothing during the night, and 120 m² will give you 18kW during the day, and nothing during the night, which will give you an average of 6kW during a 24h period

Of course it also depends on the place you live in (longitude and average cloud coverage) and a few other parameters. And keep in mind the figures I just gave you are quite optimistic.
60000 kb
Depends on the size of the solar cell you are thinking of using.
6 kW is 6,000 amps therefore if each solar cell output was 500mA (1/2 Amp) then you would need 12,000 cells (assuming no losses in efficiency).
If u are using 2 watts 1.5 volt silicon solar cell you will need 3500 such cells to generate that much electricity
