This calculator is designed to give you a fast, realistic starting point. For a tailored proposal, we’ll assess your roof space, load profile and operational requirements in more detail.
FAQs
What information do I need to use the commercial solar panel calculator?
You only need an approximate annual electricity consumption figure to generate a solar savings estimate. For a more accurate commercial solar PV model, we review half-hourly meter data, roof size, orientation and operational energy profile as part of a detailed feasibility assessment.
What does this commercial solar calculator estimate?
This tool provides a directional estimate of potential electricity savings from onsite solar generation under a fully funded power purchase agreement model. It compares your current grid spend with projected onsite generation costs to give a fast, practical business case before a detailed assessment.
What factors influence the level of savings?
Savings depend on:
- Daytime energy demand
- Available installation space
- Location and solar yield
- Grid connection capacity
- Agreed contract structure
Sites with consistent daytime consumption typically see the strongest results.
Is a solar PPA cheaper than buying solar panels outright?
It depends on your priorities. Owning a system can provide higher long-term returns, but it requires capital investment and ongoing asset responsibility.
A fully funded PPA model avoids upfront cost and operational risk while still delivering immediate savings and long-term price certainty. For many businesses, preserving capital and reducing exposure to energy volatility is the priority.
