What is Kilowatt Offset & how can I view them?
Kilowatt offset refers to the portion of your energy consumption that is replaced or offset by the electricity generated from your solar power system. It's essentially the amount of grid energy you no longer need to purchase because your solar panels produce enough electricity to meet that demand.
Key Points:
Energy Production vs. Consumption:
- If your solar system generates enough energy to cover your usage, your kilowatt offset could be 100%.
- If it only covers part of your usage, the offset would be less than 100%.
Factors Influencing Kilowatt Offset:
- Solar System Size: Larger systems generate more power and can offset more energy.
- Energy Usage Patterns: High consumption might result in a lower offset unless the system is sized accordingly.
- Solar Panel Efficiency: More efficient panels can increase your system's output, improving offset.
- Location and Sunlight: Areas with more sunlight result in higher energy production.
In summary, kilowatt offset quantifies how much of your energy needs are met by solar power, helping you gauge the impact of your solar investment on energy independence and cost savings.
