About this calculator
This estimates savings by comparing your current utility spending, growing at the rate you enter, against the fixed cost of the system. It does not account for financing interest if you take a solar loan, panel degradation (typically 0.5% efficiency loss per year), or changes in net metering policy, all of which affect real-world results.
Get a site-specific quote before deciding. Actual savings depend heavily on your roof's sun exposure, local utility rates, available incentives, and net metering rules in your area.
