Solar CostCalc

You can use the Solar CostCalc to generate a customized profile of the costs and savings associated with installing a grid-connected solar electric or photovoltaic (PV) system in your home or business. The Solar CostCalc demonstrates the benefits of SRP's EarthWise Solar Energy program.

Solar Calc assumptions

The following sources are used to produce Solar Calc data:

  • Emissions reductions are based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2000 average emissions rate for Arizona.
  • Energy production is based on typical system efficiencies and average solar insolation from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) TMY dataset for Phoenix, Arizona.
  • Residential and commercial load profiles are based on typical usage by SRP customers for the corresponding price plan.
