Pls i want to know the amount of solar n panels to be used for 1kw solar system
Check the attached documents for your reference & perusal.....
Solar panels come in different ranges of wattages.Add up the wattage of different solar panels you get e.g. Ten 100W solar panels will give you a 1Kw solar system.
Here's a concrete example:
Evergreen Solar makes a 200 watt panel (model ES-A-200). In real world conditions these panels should kick out 150 watts each. So to get 1,000 watts, you would need no fewer than 7 panels to do the job. Currently, this panel goes for about $1,000 each so your lookng at $7,000 just for the panels. You will also need a charge controller, inverter, batteries (if desired), mounting hardware, etc.
Not sure what you intend to do with the electricity from the panels but here is how you can get 1,000 watts...
Northern Arizona Wind and Sun sells Kyocera 250 watt panels for $257, which is about $1 per watt which is close to the current market price for the larger sized panels. Four of these panels will get you 1,000 watts of power for about $1,100 (not sure what shipping is).
If you are looking at a stand alone power system, you will need a charge controller (preferably a MPPT controller), batteries (deep cycle, flooded lead acid batteries) and presumably an inverter to make 120Vac electricity.
If you want to sell electrictiy to the grid, you will need a grid-tie inverter.
Or if you want grid tie AND backup power, then you will need grid-tie inverter with charger, solar charge controller, batteries, etc.

Aside from being cheaper, generating electricity from the renewable energy sources can also help minimize the amount of power that you need from the local lines.
Getting electricity from the local lines can be expensive for properties in remote areas. However, it can also be cheaper to generate electricity from the renewable energy sources - https://www.essentialhomeandgarden.com/how-to-generate-your-own-electricity-at-home/
