Calculators

Solar Panel Power and Interval Energy Calculator

Estimate instantaneous PV power from operating conditions or integrate actual AC intervals; keep module temperature, inverter clipping and energy separate.

Calculators

Solar Degradation Scenario and Measured Change

Calculate an explicit annual-decline energy scenario or annualized change between normalized measurements; handle zero decline, zero output and measured growth.

Calculators

Solar Cleaning Period Value Calculator

Value recoverable soiling losses for an entered period using the correct clean or soiled energy baseline, self-use, export credits and cleaning cost.

Calculators

Solar Self-Use and Export Value Calculator

Value self-used solar and exported energy with their own rates, realizable credits and additional charges; retain the actual tariff assumptions.

Calculators

Solar Cash-Flow NPV and Payback Calculator

Evaluate dated annual solar cash flows or an explicit escalation scenario, including replacements, discounting and recovery that can reverse later.

Calculators

Solar Module Voltage and String Sizing

Correct module Voc and Vmp at design temperatures and find whole series/parallel strings within startup, MPPT, absolute-voltage and current limits.

Calculators

Simple Solar Cash Payback Calculator

Compare net upfront cost with constant annual benefits and costs; handle zero outlay, nonpositive savings and the chosen horizon explicitly.

Calculators

Solar Hot-Water Collector and Storage Sizing

Calculate water-heating load, whole collector count and a storage/recovery window from actual volumes, temperatures, useful yield and candidate equipment.

Calculators

Hot-Water Pipe Volume and Delivery Test

Calculate stored water and ideal purge time from actual pipe inside diameters, then record measured arrival time, volume and the stated temperature criterion.

Calculators

Solar Resource by Coordinates and Month

Look up NASA POWER monthly horizontal solar climatology by coordinates, preview and explicitly apply the data, or summarize a documented manual monthly series.

Calculators

Solar Thermal Useful Heat Calculator

Calculate useful daily heat from a supported net efficiency or apply a documented collector gain/loss curve at one operating point; report kWh and BTU.
