Solar Calculators
Plan residential solar capacity, production, panel count, PV strings, roof area, exports, payback, storage, and EV charging energy.
Solar System Size Calculator
Estimate the solar array capacity and approximate panel count needed to offset a selected share of household electricity use.
CALCSolar Panel Output Calculator
Estimate daily, monthly, and annual energy production for a solar array using panel rating, quantity, sun hours, and system losses.
CALCPV String Voltage Calculator
Check estimated cold-weather open-circuit voltage and nominal operating voltage against an inverter’s DC and MPPT limits.
CALCSolar Payback Calculator
Estimate simple payback, first-year savings, and ten-year net benefit for a residential solar installation.
CALCSolar Panel Count Calculator
Estimate how many solar panels are required to meet a target portion of annual electricity consumption.
CALCSolar Panel Roof Area Calculator
Estimate the gross roof area required for a selected number of solar modules, including a configurable layout allowance.
CALCSolar Battery Size Calculator
Estimate nominal home-battery capacity for a target backup duration and selected share of household load.
CALCSolar Self-Consumption Calculator
Estimate solar self-consumption, grid export, and solar self-sufficiency from annual generation and on-site energy use.
CALCSolar Export Value Calculator
Calculate monthly and annual revenue or bill credit from exported solar electricity.
CALCSolar Panels for EV Charging Calculator
Estimate the additional solar capacity and panel count needed to offset annual electric-vehicle charging energy.
CALCSolar Production Loss Calculator
Compare expected and measured solar generation to quantify energy shortfall, percentage loss, and estimated financial impact.
Planning with solar calculators
Use several related tools rather than relying on one result. Energy systems are constrained by both energy and power, and final equipment choices depend on climate, operating schedules, manufacturer limits, utility rules, and local codes.
