ELECTRICITY CALCULATOR

Solar simple payback

Estimate simple payback from installed cost and annual savings.

Enter amounts in the same currency throughout. Nothing is sent to our server.

How this calculation works

(Cost − upfront grant) ÷ (annual savings − annual maintenance). This simple calculation ignores financing, inflation, degradation and future changes in tariffs; a non-positive annual saving has no finite payback.
