YOUR SOLAR PLANT ESTIMATE

A brighter outlook
starts here.

Enter your plant requirements to estimate space, generation and monthly savings.

How this estimate works

This calculator follows the supplied workbook: shed space = capacity × 6 m² per kWp; RCC space = capacity × 10 m² per kWp; monthly generation = capacity × average daily generation × 30 days; monthly savings = monthly generation × your tariff.

This assumes all generated energy offsets electricity at the entered tariff. It excludes O&M, financing, taxes, degradation and export restrictions. Actual usable area, output and savings require an engineering and commercial assessment.

A LITTLE CLARITY

Good questions.
Clear answers.

01Is my rooftop suitable for solar?

Suitability depends on structural condition, usable area, shading and access. A site and structural assessment should be completed before the system size and design are finalised.

02How accurate is the solar savings calculator?

The calculator provides an indicative first-year estimate using area, generation and electricity tariff assumptions. Actual output and savings depend on site conditions, system design, consumption and applicable electricity arrangements. A detailed proposal needs an engineering assessment.
