About Solar-Estimate.org

Solar-Estimate.org exists to provide an easy-to-use ballpark solar estimator so that homeowners can get a rough idea of the solar potential of their home before deciding if they want to talk to a solar company.Our calculator automatically places panels on your roof and adjusts the production estimate to the tilt angle, azimuth and shading of the best location for each array of panels on your roof. At the time of writing (December 2019) no other consumer website can do this. The only other place such accurate functionality is available is in professional solar design software used by solar companies. Our solar calculator also uses EIA and Genability electric use profiling for each region of the United States to estimate what your electricity use pattern looks like over the course of a day and over the seasons of the year. It then maps that hour by hour over the generation pattern from the proposed solar array. As such it is the only free online solar panel calculator that properly accounts for the effects of time of use billing on solar savings. Most online solar panel calculators just estimate annual usage and production, ignore this complexity and give inaccurate results. This last point is particularly important in California where all residential customers are now on time of use electric billing, making the times of the day you use power and the times of day you generate power critical to your solar savings analysis.

Great tool if considering solar panels This is a very helpful tool! Even though I have chosen to not switch to solar at this time, I found the information extremely helpful & was much more informed after using the site. The information is understandable & not too technically overwhelming. I appreciated having access to the information & explanations & estimations. Thank you.

Helpful cost benefit analysis I really appreciated having the cost benefit analysis for investing in solar for my home. In the end, we determined that solar is not right for us. We will keep checking in as costs drop and our tree cover changes over time.
