Solar Power Calculators & Solar Evaluation Worksheet

Step 1- Determine Amount Of Electricity Necessary
Step 2- Calculate Daily Amp Hour Usage
Step 3- Calculate Number Of Solar Panels Necessary
Step 4- Calculate Number Of Batteries Necessary.This is calculated based on several factors.

If you are only looking into a solar electric system to simply REDUCE your power bills, a utility intertied system may be what you need. These systems do not require the above calculations. Instead, these systems are based on your allowed budget to determine system size. These net metering systems feed power back to the utility. Generally speaking, an average 2kw residential system will run roughly $15k before tax credits. If you live in the Chattanooga, TN region, TVA will provide a rebate check of $1,000 upon tying into the grid, and current tax incentives allow users to write off 30% of the total cost of solar upgrades, thus taking the overall cost down to roughly $13k for a 2kw residential system.

If you're needing a stand-alone, independent power system, please read the following:

Without writing down the power requirements for the loads you wish to run, there is no way of determining even an estimated cost.
There is no average that gives any useful information about what your specific needs will require. A site analysis by an experienced and licensed professional will be required to determine your home's needs. Please call the office in Chattanooga, TN if you're in the area and are interested in having a site analysis completed.
The square footage of a house or building does not enter into our calculations, only the location, amount of power used on at site per day and the peak load are useful to determine general system size and costs.
