Recommended Solar Capacity Based on Monthly Units Consumed
| Monthly Units Consumed | Recommended Solar Capacity |
| 100 Units | 1 kW |
| 200 Units | 2 kW |
| 300 Units | 3 kW |
| 400 Units | 4 kW |
| 500 Units | 5 kW |
| 600 Units | 6 kW |
| 700 Units | 7 kW |
| 800 Units | 8 kW |
| 900 Units | 9 kW |
| 1000 Units | 10 kW |
Why This Formula Works
A professionally designed rooftop solar system in West Bengal can typically generate approximately 1300–1450 units per kW annually.
This translates to approximately:
1 kW Solar System
108–120 Units Per Month
Therefore:
100 Monthly Units ≈ 1 kW Solar System
This method is significantly more accurate than calculating solar capacity using electricity bill amount because tariff rates vary across DISCOMs and slab structures.
