Solar Savings Calculator guide

What it is for

The Solar Savings Calculator estimates a financial outcome so you can compare scenarios before making a decision.

How it is calculated

Daily production = system capacity in kW × equivalent sun hours per day. Annual production uses 365.2425 days; multiplying by the electricity rate gives modeled annual savings.

Assumptions

Taxes, fees, inflation, rate changes, and product terms are not included unless the inputs account for them.

Example

A 5 kW system with 4 sun hours/day produces 20 kWh/day in this model. At $0.15/kWh, modeled annual savings are about $1,095.73.

Limitations

This is not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Confirm terms with official documents and a qualified professional.
