Frequently Asked Questions

It multiplies system size by peak sun hours, 365 days and your selected performance ratio. This creates an estimated annual kWh output before splitting it into self-used energy and exported energy.

Payback is the net installed cost after incentives divided by estimated first-year annual savings. Shorter payback generally means a stronger financial result, but actual results depend on rates, export credits and site conditions.

Self-used solar usually saves the full retail electricity rate, while exported energy may receive a lower credit. Higher self-consumption often improves savings and payback.
