Understanding Your Results

System Efficiency Explained

System efficiency shows how effectively your panels convert available solar energy into electricity. It's calculated using your system size, solar irradiance (GTI), and annual output. A higher percentage means your system is more efficient at converting sunlight to electricity.

Monthly Savings Calculation

Monthly savings are calculated by multiplying your estimated monthly electricity production by your local electricity rate. This represents the amount you won't have to pay to your utility company. Savings are shown in your local currency with the equivalent in AUD for easy comparison.

CO₂ Emission Reduction

This calculation shows the environmental benefit of your solar system over a 20-year lifespan. It's based on the carbon intensity of grid electricity in your region and the amount of clean energy your system will produce.
