Solar Payback

Estimate simple and degraded payback from system cost, kilowatts, peak sun hours, electricity price, and performance. A planning estimate, not a quote.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a quote?

No. It is a planning estimate. Incentives, inverter replacement, export rates, and shade are ignored.

Why does output fall?

The model drops production 0.5% each year and stops the payback walk at 40 years.
