Why 12 Solar Panels? Understanding System Sizing

Twelve-panel solar arrays have become the sweet spot for residential installations. Why? Let's crunch numbers:

• Covers 75-90% power needs for 3-bedroom homes
• Requires 200-400 sq.ft roof space (depending on panel type)
• Average daily output: 4.5-6.5 kWh in moderate climates

Maintenance: Protect Your Investment

Solar panels aren't "install and forget" devices. Annual maintenance costs average $150-$300 but can prevent:

• 15-20% efficiency loss from dust
• Inverter failures ($500+ replacements)
• Rodent damage (surprisingly common!)
