Hello Arjun, The Answer Is 26.54 panels.

Explanation:

Dimensions of roof section: 7.2m By 4.4m

Area Of Roof: 7.2*4.4 = 31.68m²

Dimension of solar panels: 1400mm by 850mm

= 1400÷1000 by 850÷1000 = 1.4m by 0.85m

So We can say that: Area each solar panel = 1.4 * 0.85 = 1.19m²

The 30 CM Gap On All Edges Gives Us A Square Of Side = 30 Cm = 0.3 M

So, The Area Of Gap Left = 0.3*0.3 = 0.9m²

Now, The Total Area That Can Be Covered Is 31.68-0.9 = 31.59m²

So, Now we Divide The area remaining with the area of the solar panel that is: 31.59 ÷ 1.19m² = 26.54 Panels...
