Solar Installation Capacity Calculator
How much a solar company can install per month, and what limits the throughput.
Result
Install capacity is rarely the real constraint in solar. Permitting queues, utility interconnection approval and inspection scheduling usually cap throughput well below what the crews could physically build, which is why pipeline management matters more than crew count.

About this calculator
What actually limits how much we install?
Almost always permitting and interconnection rather than labour. Crews sit idle waiting for approvals far more often than jobs sit waiting for crews.
How much should I allow for weather?
Measure your own. It swings from a few percent in the southwest to a quarter or more in a northern winter, and it is seasonal rather than steady.
The formula
jobs = usable crew days x crews / days per job
