SolarCalc enables you to evaluate different solar systems to see which offers the best return on investment.
Simply enter your annual electricity consumption, current tariff, solar system configuration (solar panels and batteries) and future tariff plus the cost of the system. SolarCalc will estimate how much you will save each year and therefore how quickly you get your money back.
If you wish you can add more detail, such as monthly electricity consumption and expected future electricity price inflation and interest rates so that you can take into account the gains you would have made if you put the money into savings instead.
If you have received several quotes, you can save each system configuration and price and then compare them.
