Calculator
Solar capacity calculator: how many kWp do you need?
Start from one of three inputs: your monthly bill, your roof area or the total construction area of your new building. The result is always a range; formulas and factors are at the bottom of the page.
Result
Estimate ≈ 23 – 29 kWp
- Annual output
- ≈ 31,400–39,600 kWh
- Panel count
- about 38–48 panels (600 Wp)
- Specific yield
- 1,366 kWh/kWp·yr (Mardin) No PVGIS query has been run for this province yet; the regional reference value Diyarbakır was used.
- Area needed
- ≈ 160–200 m² (gross · Trapezoidal sheet)
- Suggested range ≈ 23–29 kWp
- Covers the bill ≈ 26 kWp

How did we calculate this?
Four steps: annual energy demand, the province's specific yield, the area limit and rounding. Every factor used is listed below.
-
Consumption
Annual consumption = monthly bill × 12 ÷ TRY 4.00/kWh. This is a default unit price including taxes; if your tariff differs, the result changes. If you enter monthly kWh, no unit price is used: annual consumption = monthly kWh × 12.
-
Capacity
Required capacity (kWp) = annual consumption ÷ specific yield. Specific yield is the electricity 1 kWp of panels produces in that province in one year (kWh/kWp·yr).
-
Area limit
Capacity the area can carry = area × usable share × layout density (kWp/m²). When calculating from the bill, the result never exceeds this limit; in the NZEB calculation, a warning appears if it does.
-
NZEB
Required capacity = construction area × 120 kWh/m²·yr primary energy × 10% ÷ 2.36 (the primary energy conversion factor we assume for electricity) ÷ specific yield. 120 kWh/m²·yr and 2.36 are product assumptions and are the same for all use types; the exact calculation is made with BEP-TR by an EKB expert.
-
Range
The suggested capacity is rounded in steps of 0.5 below 15 kWp; 1 below 100 kWp; 5 below 1,000 kWp; 10 above kWp. The range is 90%–110% of the suggested capacity; if there is an area limit, the upper end never exceeds it.
-
Output and panels
Annual output = capacity × specific yield (rounded to 100 kWh). Panel count assumes 600 Wp modules. The area needed is worked back with the same factors (rounded up to 10 m²).
Area factors
| Roof type | Usable share | kWp/m² | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trapezoidal sheet | 80% | 0.19 | Maintenance walkways |
| Sandwich panel | 80% | 0.19 | Maintenance walkways |
| Membrane (flat roof) | 75% | 0.18 | Edge clearances |
| Concrete terrace | 70% | 0.11 | Shading distance between tilted rows |
| Tile (pitched) | 70% | 0.18 | Chimney and window gaps |
| Land | 90% | 0.08 | About 1.25 hectares / MWp |
| Carport | 90% | 0.17 | Column spacing |
The factors are product assumptions; once enough real bids build up on the platform, they will be recalibrated against those bids. The usable share applies only when a gross area is entered.
Scale labels
- Home scale 0–15 kWp
- Small commercial 15–100 kWp
- Mid scale 100–500 kWp
- Large scale 500–2,000 kWp
- Above 2 MW Above 2,000 kWp
Specific yield by province
Values were queried in PVGIS 5.3 (PVGIS-SARAH3) for 1 kWp, 14% system losses, building-integrated mounting, 10° tilt and south orientation (3 Oct 2026). Provinces queried directly: 9. The other provinces use the value of a regional reference province chosen by climate and geography. Roof orientation and tilt are not asked: output can be slightly higher on concrete terraces and land at the optimal tilt, and lower on north-facing tiles.
