Solar Panel Payback Calculator
Find out how many years your solar panels take to pay back and whether they are worth it at all. System size, price, consumption and roof tilt are enough; the calculation runs hour by hour through a year of real weather and also covers how electricity prices may develop.

In year 1 the system produces 11,976 kWh; you use 4,112 kWh of it at home, send 7,864 kWh to the grid and buy 5,888 kWh from the grid.
The basic calculation has no battery, maintenance or inverter replacement, 0.5 % yearly panel degradation and prices developing as in the past. Set everything else in the Advanced mode.
The result is an estimate based on the weather of a representative year and the prices entered. Actual production and prices vary from year to year.

An estimate for information only, not financial, tax or technical advice. How it is calculated and where the data come from
How the calculator works
Solar panels save in two ways: the power you use at home doesn't have to be bought at the full price, and the surplus is sold to the grid at the export price. Because the export price is usually much lower, the payback depends mostly on how much of the power you use yourself.
So the calculator works hour by hour through a full year. Production comes from the real weather of a representative year from the European PVGIS service, cloudy days included, and from the tilt and orientation of the roof. Consumption follows a standard household profile, which you can adjust by month and by hour of the average day in the Advanced mode.
The battery charges from the midday surplus and covers consumption in the evening and at night. The calculator counts the storage losses, doesn't charge it from the grid and doesn't limit its power, so the result is rather an upper estimate of its benefit.
The payback is the moment when the savings, after costs, maintenance and loan payments, exceed the money put in. Nobody knows the future electricity price, so the calculator runs three scenarios from the price history: slow, typical and fast growth. The main result uses typical growth; the others show the range.
Frequently asked questions
How big a system should I get?
It depends on your consumption and roof size. A larger system produces more, but the surplus sells cheaply, so every extra kWp pays back more slowly. Try several sizes in the Compare options mode and watch the payback and profit.
Is a battery worth it?
A battery raises self-consumption because you use the daytime power in the evening. It pays more the bigger the gap between the purchase and export price. Compare an option without and with a battery in the Compare options mode.
What is the difference between self-consumption and self-sufficiency?
Self-consumption is the percentage of the produced power you use at home. Self-sufficiency is the percentage of your consumption the system covers. A large system can have high self-sufficiency but low self-consumption, because it sells most of its production.
What export price should I enter?
The one in your contract with your supplier, or an average if it follows the market. The export price is usually much lower than the purchase price, so it pays to use as much power at home as possible.
How long do panels and inverters last?
Panels typically have a performance warranty of about 25 years and slowly produce a little less. The inverter usually lasts a shorter time, so you can enter its replacement in the Advanced mode.
What does the yearly return (IRR) mean?
It is the yearly interest rate the investment in the system is equivalent to once all savings and costs over time are counted. Use it to compare with other options such as a savings account or investing.
How do I include a grant or tax credit?
Subtract it from the price of the system or battery. The conditions of support programmes change, so check them with the provider.
How accurate is the calculation?
It uses the real weather of one representative year and a standard consumption profile, so it is an estimate. Years differ with the weather and your consumption may differ from the profile. The battery is modelled without power limits or ageing.
How does the calculator estimate future electricity prices?
It takes every 10-year period of the household electricity price history and works out its average yearly growth. The slow scenario is the slowest of them, typical the middle one and fast the fastest. You can replace them with your own estimate in the Advanced mode.
How do I set my household's consumption?
In the Advanced mode you can change the consumption by month, for example from your bills, and the shape of the average day if you run appliances mostly during the day or in the evening.

How it is calculated and where the data come from
How the result is calculated
- Production comes from PVGIS, the photovoltaic tool of the European Commission: the 8 760 hours of one real, representative year in one city per country, scaled by system size, tilt and orientation, with system losses of 14 %.
- Consumption follows a standard household profile (OTE in Czechia, BDEW elsewhere) scaled to the yearly consumption you enter. In the advanced mode you can edit it by month and by hour.
- In each hour the production first covers the household (self-consumption), then charges the battery (90 % efficiency for a full cycle) and the rest is exported at the export price. What is not covered is bought at the purchase price.
- Every year the panels lose a share of their output (0.5 % by default), the inverter is replaced in the year you set and a loan is repaid with a monthly annuity. The payback is the year when the cumulative savings, after costs, exceed the money put in.
- Electricity prices are shown in three scenarios (slow, typical and fast growth), taken from the slowest, median and fastest average yearly growth over any ten-year window of the official price history. The export price does not grow.
Assumptions and limits
- The weather of one representative year stands for every year; real production changes by several percent from year to year. The city is not your roof: shading, the local climate and the real condition of the roof are not known.
- The battery is assumed to be charged only by the panels, without a limit on its power, so its benefit is rather an upper estimate.
- Subsidies, taxes, feed-in rules and net-metering schemes differ by country, supplier and time and are not included unless you put them into the prices.
- Future electricity prices are unknown. The scenarios come from history, which does not guarantee what comes next.
System, battery and inverter prices, maintenance, the export price, the loan rate and the consumption are round examples, not statistics; use the numbers from your own offer and bills. Starting electricity prices are official averages or are marked as reported or example in the table below.
Data sources and the period they hold for
Every number a calculator starts with or computes from comes from one of the sources below. Series names are given as the publisher names them. Each row shows the period the data refer to and, where we record it, the day we downloaded them. Official data can be months old when they are published, so check the current figure before you decide.
- Official
- Published by a central bank, a statistical office, the European Union or another public body.
- Research or industry data
- A dataset of a university, an index provider, an industry association or a data vendor.
- Reported
- A figure of an official body that we know only from the press and did not check in the primary source. Treat it as approximate.
- Example
- A round number of ours, not a statistic. Replace it with your own.
