What is a Solar Calculator?
A Solar Calculator is a powerful tool used to calculate different values related to solar energy systems or sun position. These calculations are essential for homeowners, engineers, and contractors to plan efficient energy solutions.
Type 1
Solar Power Calculator
(for Solar Panel System)
This calculator helps to estimate the practical requirements of your solar installation:
- System Capacity: Total kW required for your load.
- Panel Count: Estimate how many panels fit your roof.
- Financials: Cost estimation & monthly savings.
- ROI: Payback period and long-term benefits.
Example: If your house uses 300 units/month, it can identify a 3kW system
need with ~8-10 panels.
Type 2
Solar Position Calculator
(Sun Path Calculator)
This type focuses on the astronomical data required for optimal system placement:
- Times: Precise Sunrise & Sunset timings.
- Sun Angle: Azimuth & Altitude for exact tracking.
- Best Tilt: Optimal angle for maximum irradiance.
- Shadow Length: Essential for building planning.
Usefulness: Critical for civil engineers in energy-efficient design and
site surveying.
