Estimate your potential savings by switching to solar energy.
Your Estimated Savings
Estimated Monthly Savings: $0
Estimated Annual Savings: $0
Note: This is an estimate. Actual savings may vary based on factors like location, system efficiency, and energy usage patterns.
How it works: This calculator multiplies your monthly electricity usage by the cost per kWh to determine your current monthly cost. It then estimates your solar savings by calculating the energy produced by your solar panel system and subtracting it from your current cost.
How Does the Solar Savings Calculator Work?
The calculator uses a simple formula to estimate your potential savings. Here’s the breakdown:
- Step 1: Your monthly electricity usage (kWh) is multiplied by the cost per kWh to determine your current monthly electricity cost.
- Step 2: The size of your solar panel system (kW) is multiplied by the average daily sunlight hours (assumed to be 4 hours) and then by 30 to estimate the monthly energy production.
- Step 3: The energy produced by your solar panels is multiplied by the cost per kWh to calculate your estimated monthly savings.
- Step 4: Multiply your monthly savings by 12 to see your annual savings.
Note: This is an estimate. Actual savings depend on factors like your location, system efficiency, and energy usage patterns.
