    The solar calculation sheet is used to determine the size and cost of a solar power system based on a location's electricity usage and solar radiation data.

    The solar calculation sheet is used to determine the size of a solar power system needed to meet a location's electricity needs based on factors like monthly electricity usage, average sunlight hours, and solar panel specifications.

    The required solar panel wattage is calculated based on the monthly electricity usage in kilowatt-hours, the average sun hours per day for the location, and the solar panel wattage.
