Solar Panel Output How much power can you get from solar roofing panels ? This will depend on the efficiency of the panel’s solar photovoltaic (PV) cells in converting solar light energy into electrical energy. The efficiency of a panel is defined by a complicated formula that assumes optimal sun exposure. An 8% efficient panel will require twice the area of a 16% efficient panel to produce the same output. Although, we often hear of marvelous advances in solar cell technology in the laboratory, the commercial solar cells available today represent the current state of the art. Commercial solar roof panels average 14% efficiency and produce about 14.4-w/sq ft (155 w/sq m). Standard solar roof panel sizes are about 13.5 sq ft., and each panel produces about 200 watts.
