Solar PV payback

Annual generation is split between electricity used directly in the home (saving the full retail purchase price) and surplus exported to the grid under net-billing at your specified export rate. Simple payback divides net installation cost (after grants or subsidies) by first-year bill savings, without modelling inflation, panel degradation or loan interest.

Without a battery, typical household self-consumption is 25–35%. Adding home battery storage often raises self-consumption above 50%, though it increases upfront capital cost.

Snapshot A stays only in this page’s memory. Refreshing or leaving the calculator removes it; it is not added to links or sent to the server. The percentage change uses the absolute value of A; it is not defined when A is zero.

Sensitivity analysis

These simulations change only the indicated parameter; all other assumptions match the form. They are not forecasts or confidence intervals. The initial variants are editable examples.
