The following table shows some of the most popular solar panels used in home installations, and how much they weigh: Weight of different residential solar panels. In terms of weight per area, the average weight/area of a residential solar panel is around 2.25 pounds per square foot (24.3lbs/m² or 11Kg/m²).
Since residential panels weigh – on average – 40 lbs each, 5kW of solar panels weighs around 700 lbs. Including the weight of the mounting equipment, the overall weight that the system would add to the roof is 750 to 800 pounds.
RV solar panels are generally rated at 100-150 watts and are smaller and lighter than residential solar panels. In general, the average rigid solar panel used in RV solar systems is rated at 100 Watts and weighs about 15lbs. The following table compares the weight of some of the most popular RV solar panels:
These panels use either thin-film technologies like CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) or ultra-thin monocrystalline silicon cells embedded in flexible substrates. The key advantage of flexible panels lies in their adaptability.
