Solar Panel Calculator
Estimate solar costs, savings and payback in minutes
SunMetricLab is a free, no-signup solar planning tool for US homeowners. Estimate the recommended system size, number of panels, installation cost, federal tax credit, annual savings and expected payback period in minutes. It also includes state-specific solar cost guides and dedicated calculators for ROI, batteries and system sizing. No sales calls, no lead forms - just transparent estimates.
Would love to see a shading analysis built in. Even a simple input where you describe nearby trees or obstructions and get a rough output derate on your production estimate would be really useful. Most people I know grossly overestimate their roof's true solar potential and that one extra step could save folks from being disappointed by their actual first year production numbers.
Finally tried a few inputs and the payback time estimate felt realistic for my area, which is more than I can say for other calculators I've poked at. The tax credit breakdown was a nice touch.
