 = Calculation of PV Panel Required =
 The calculation of PV panel number required should be based on the specification of the solar pump inverter input. Normally they will suggest a range of DC Input Voltage and inverter power required. The number of PV panel required is related to the specification of individual panel. The common misconception is that you can estimate based on the number of panel (they had different capacity) or size (it might had different efficiency).
