Solar & Storage Calculator

How much solar and storage does your home really need?

Choose what your home runs on, and the calculator estimates the solar array, battery storage and, for off-grid properties, the generator to match. Send it to us and a designer will review it with you.

01

Your property

Every value can be changed later.

Empty homes still keep heat at about 55°F, the fridge and freeze protection running.
If you know it, this replaces the estimate from your checklist.
Essentials: fridge, lights, internet, well, heating controls.
How long the batteries carry the property through cloudy weather before the generator starts.
"Most of the year" lets the generator cover the darkest winter weeks. Designing for December usually doubles the array.

Solar and equipment

Skip anything you're unsure of.

Do you already have solar?
What kind of solar interests you?
A building-integrated solar roof is the roof itself: the solar is built in, in place of shingles or metal panels. Choose as many as you like.
