Expert Analysis & Methodology

Why calculate this?

A solar quote can look attractive while the monthly loan payment still wipes out the bill savings. This calculator compares avoided power costs, export credit, maintenance, and finance cost in one place.

How the estimate works

It estimates monthly bill savings from your current bill and expected reduction, adds export credit, then subtracts loan and monitoring costs to show the real monthly and annual net benefit.

Best next step

Run conservative, expected, and salesperson-case scenarios. If the base case is weak, ask the installer to explain system size, export assumptions, warranty, finance terms, and maintenance before signing.
