Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The roof is Rectangular :
Dimension of roof section : 7.2 m by 4.4 m
Area of roof = length * width
Area of roof = 7.2 * 4.4 = 31.68 m²
Dimension of solar panels = 1400 mm by 850 mm
Converting to m:
1000mm = 1 m
1400/1000 by 850/1000 = 1.4 m by 0.85 m
Area each solar panel = 1.4 * 0.85 = 1.19 m²
Gap left at each edge :
30cm gap about the 4 edges gives a square with side length 30cm:
30cm = 30/100 = 0.3m
Area of gap left = 0.3² = 0.09 m²
Total area that can be covered = (31.68 - 0.09) m² = 31.59 m²
Maximum number of panels that can be placed on roof section :
Total area that can be covered / area of panel
31.59 m² / 1.19 m²
= 26.54 panels
