Solar Savings Calculator

Accurate Solar Savings Calculator Using Real Usage Data

Generic solar calculators provide inaccurate savings estimates. Fiskil calculates precise solar savings using actual household usage data from connected energy accounts.

Generic Solar Calculators Overestimate Savings

Solar quotes use generic usage assumptions leading to disappointed customers when savings don't materialize.

  • Sales calculators use inflated usage estimates

  • Don't account for actual usage timing and patterns

  • Ignore seasonal variations in consumption

  • Overestimate self-consumption rates

  • Payback periods longer than advertised

Usage Data-Based Solar Savings Modeling

Calculate solar savings using actual consumption data, usage timing, and realistic self-consumption rates.

Accurate Usage Baseline

Use real household consumption data as baseline for solar modeling.

Self-Consumption Modeling

Model realistic self-consumption rates based on usage timing patterns.

Feed-In Value Calculation

Calculate export value based on expected generation and self-consumption.

True Payback Period

Calculate realistic payback periods using actual usage and costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Using actual usage data provides 90%+ accuracy vs 60-70% accuracy of generic calculations.

Interval data enables even more accurate self-consumption modeling based on hourly usage patterns.

Modeled based on when energy is consumed vs when solar generates (typically 30-50% self-consumption).

Yes, battery addition increases self-consumption rate and additional savings can be modeled.

Multiple system sizes can be compared to show optimal investment size.

Conservative assumptions (2-3% annual increase) used for long-term savings projections.

No, this provides savings modeling. Physical roof assessment still required for installation.
