Estimates based on NREL PVWatts data and EIA electricity rates. Assumes 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Actual savings vary by system size, installer pricing, and local incentives.
How We Calculate Your Savings
Solar Resource
We use NREL's PVWatts API data to determine the average daily solar irradiance for your state (kWh/m²/day).
System Sizing
Your monthly bill and electricity rate determine your energy usage. We size a system to offset that usage, adjusted for roof condition.
Savings & ROI
Annual production × local electricity rate = annual savings. System cost minus 30% ITC divided by annual savings = payback period.
