System Size Calculator

Estimate array size from monthly bill or annual electricity use.

03 / RETURN

ROI & Payback

Model self-consumption, export credit and annual tariff change.

04 / STORAGE

Battery Sizing

Size usable storage for evening loads and backup hours.

05 / ROOF

Panel Count

Translate roof area and panel wattage into feasible capacity.

06 / INDEPENDENCE

Off-Grid Sizing

8.0 kW
INDICATIVE INSTALLED RANGE
$20.0k–$28.0k

8.0 kW solar-only system in the United States, before incentives.

Panel count19 × 440 W
Annual generation10,249 kWh
Simple payback15.2–21.3 yrs

Method: country cost-per-watt range × selected size × roof complexity. Payback uses local rate, sunlight, 78% system yield, selected self-consumption and a conservative 35% value for exported energy. Battery, finance, tax, maintenance and future tariff changes are excluded.

Important:This calculator is for early-stage planning. Before buying, check roof condition, structural loading, shade, inverter limits, grid approval, warranty terms, applicable tax and current incentive rules.
