“Payback on solar isn’t the most important thing…it is the only thing the vast majority of potential solar homeowners care about.”
GetWithGreen took a look at how easy it is for us consumers to actually estimate the cost of installation/installing solar during a home remodel - using a web-based solar calculator.
Below are we have listed a number of sources for solar installation calculators, and we have compiled the most comprehensive list of these calculators available on the web. We want to warn you, many of these solar calculators appear to made by scientists for, well we couldn’t always figure out who the target audience was :-).
To help you, we have given a GetWithGreen Rating (”GWG Rating”) to each solar calculator, where 1 is very hard to use, and 10 is the easiest to use - for an average consumer. You should also know that MANY of the solar calculators on the web are from the same creators, and are just re-skinned (web terminology for different colors).
Before you begin, make sure you have a copy of your utility bill handy because you will need to input either your annual electric costs and/or your monthly electric usage in Kwh into the solar calculator!
Calculator #1: FIND SOLAR (GWG Rating: 9)
The “My Solar Estimator” solar calculator tool starts out simple with entry of a zip code and selection of your utility provider and remains easy to use from there on out. We like the navigation of this solar calculator and believe this solar calculator was designed for consumers like the GetWithGreen.com community. This solar calculator is used by a number of different websites, and is referred to quite often.
