Estimate solar system capacity, financial ROI, and environmental impact.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

The Solar Panel Calculator is a decision-support engine that calculates the technical feasibility, financial ROI, and environmental impact of residential solar installations. Using tools like estimate_system_capacity, you can determine the required kW based on your annual energy usage and local peak sun hours. The calculate_financial_returns tool provides detailed economic breakdowns including payback period and 25-year savings. You can also use compare_financing_models to evaluate Purchase, Lease, or PPA options, and estimate_environmental_impact to quantify your carbon offset potential.

How large of a solar system do I need if my annual usage is 12000 kWh and I get 5 peak sun hours per day?

To cover your 12,000 kWh annual usage with 5 peak sun hours daily, you would need a system capacity of approximately 8.82 kW, assuming standard efficiency losses.

What are the financial returns for a 10kW system costing $20,000 with a utility rate of $0.15 per kWh?

For a 10kW system, your estimated payback period is approximately 6.5 years, with total 25-year savings projected at $32,450.

Compare the costs of purchasing a solar system vs a PPA for a 7kW setup.

The Purchase model offers the lowest net cost over 25 years, while the PPA model provides zero upfront risk but higher long-term energy expenditure.

Estimates depend on the accuracy of your input data, such as `localPeakSunHours` and `annualEnergyUsageKwh`. The tool uses standard degradation and efficiency loss factors to provide a realistic projection.
