Which solar calculator should I use?

A household that already has panels can calibrate a forecast from real output in seconds. A household considering solar needs a different answer: roof space, likely system size, annual generation and financial assumptions. A battery decision needs hourly overlap between those two sides, plus capacity and power limits. Keeping the three journeys separate avoids turning any one of them into a long questionnaire.

If you want a quick estimate without entering an address, use the solar panel cost and payback calculator. For a property-specific result, choose the solar roof calculator above.
