How we calculate it
Production × (self-use share × retail rate + export share × export rate) − annual maintenance. Payback = net upfront cost ÷ annual benefit. Excludes financing, degradation, rate changes, taxes and replacement costs.
Results describe the scenario you enter. They are estimates, not a quote or a guaranteed reduction in your utility bill.
