Quickly and easily calculate the financial viability of your solar asset

With our Solar Calculator, you can assess the profitability of solar projects reliably, transparently and intuitively – whether you are a private investor, project developer or intermediary.

What is the Solar Calculator?

The Solar Calculator is a web-based software solution for the financial modelling of PV systems. It has been specifically developed for solar projects of all sizes, from small rooftop systems to large-scale solar plants – with a clear focus on user-friendliness, reliability and transparency.

Unlike technical planning tools or complex Excel spreadsheets, the Solar Calculator provides a comprehensive financial analysis: revenues, costs, financing, tax effects, cash flows, and return metrics across the entire lifetime of the asset.

Key features at a glance

  • Simple input of project data
