how big is a solar panel?

In today’s blog, I am going to discuss how big a solar panel actually is?

So let’s drive to the topic:

How Big Is A Solar Panel?

The standard length & width of a solar panel for a home tend to be 66 inches by 40 inches. They tend to weigh about 42 pounds and have a frame thickness between 32mm to 40mm.

That makes each solar panel about 5.6 feet by 3.6 feet. The standard cell count for a residential solar panel is 60 cells. However, depending on the weight of the panel, a 72 cell module may also be used, which increases both the size and the power rating of the panel.

But in common 60 cells, the solar panel used in residential space, and 72 cells solar panel is used in commercial space.

I guess now you know how big a solar panel is? You can use both 60 or 72 cells solar panels based on your usages and your solar size.
