About Solar-Estimate.org

Solar-Estimate.org exists to provide an easy-to-use ballpark solar estimator so that homeowners can get a rough idea of the solar potential of their home before deciding if they want to talk to a solar company.Our calculator automatically places panels on your roof and adjusts the production estimate to the tilt angle, azimuth and shading of the best location for each array of panels on your roof. At the time of writing (December 2019) no other consumer website can do this. The only other place such accurate functionality is available is in professional solar design software used by solar companies. Our solar calculator also uses EIA and Genability electric use profiling for each region of the United States to estimate what your electricity use pattern looks like over the course of a day and over the seasons of the year. It then maps that hour by hour over the generation pattern from the proposed solar array. As such it is the only free online solar panel calculator that properly accounts for the effects of time of use billing on solar savings. Most online solar panel calculators just estimate annual usage and production, ignore this complexity and give inaccurate results. This last point is particularly important in California where all residential customers are now on time of use electric billing, making the times of the day you use power and the times of day you generate power critical to your solar savings analysis.

Great resource for home solar estimate I was searching for information about getting solar panels for my home to save on electric bills...what would be the cost, the savings, financing available?Solar-Estimate asked specific questions about my home (e.g., roof type and age, etc.) that were simple to follow and produced an estimate for all of the above information that I can use to plan properly and make this happen.

Helpful and informative The representative I texted with, Kurt, was very helpful and sent me in the right direction when I explained I was only looking for someone to check my existing solar sysem, not purchase a new one. I really appreciated the kindness and the information.

Great tool if considering solar panels This is a very helpful tool! Even though I have chosen to not switch to solar at this time, I found the information extremely helpful & was much more informed after using the site. The information is understandable & not too technically overwhelming. I appreciated having access to the information & explanations & estimations. Thank you.

Too much info required for a ballpark figure It seems reputable, but it’s only an info gathering / marketing website for other contractors. They want too much personal information just to give a ballpark figure. Not worth all that, so in the end it was just a way to get your info.

Link with Local Help It was good to be linked with local companies that could provide additional detail. It was also a bit bothersome to get bombarded by so many companies - had to weed out ones that had bad reviews.
