Solar panel weight varies by manufacturer, but standard 60 cell solar panels weigh about 40 pounds. Commercial solar panels weigh around 50 pounds. Frames and mounting equipment for both panels weigh about the same amount. How Much Weight Do Solar Panels Add to a Roof?
To calculate the total weight of your solar panels, you can multiply the number of panels by their individual weight, then add the estimated weight of your mounting equipment and any other rooftop components.
72-cell solar panels weigh around 61.73 pounds. As you may recall, these larger panels usually provide 350 to 400 watts. The weight of a solar panel per unit is an important consideration when deciding which size is best for your home, which we will discuss further in a later section.
All things considered, the easiest way to estimate a solar installation’s weight is by first calculating its approximate square footage. In the table below, we assume a total installation weight of 3 lbs per square foot across various system sizes, each using 400 W solar panels.
