Solar Calculators for Canada

Payback, savings, and 25-year return from your province and power bill.

Your bill and province determine the kW system, panel count, and roof area.

Honest grid-intensity math: huge win in AB/SK, near-zero in QC/BC.

What actually pays in each province — federal-credit reality included.

EV vs gas cost per province, plus the solar system that fuels it.

Year-by-year output and dollar value as panels age, 25 years out.

Cash vs loan vs lease — monthly and 25-year math in CAD.

What your bill implies about usage and what solar would take to zero it.

Normalize quotes by C$/W and sanity-check production promises.

The soft costs quotes leave out: roof work, panel upgrades, snow guards.

Real DIY numbers: equipment, permits, and the electrician you still need.

Roof dimensions + orientation → kW fit, production, and CAD value.

Current 400 W+ panels with estimated CAD cost per watt.

String vs optimizers vs microinverters — with the snow-country decision rule.

Honest battery payback: only TOU arbitrage and outage value move the needle.

Inverted math: the maximum CAD price a battery is worth to you.

Essential loads + outage duration → usable kWh and CAD cost.

The seven lease/PPA clauses that cost you money.

Is your PPA rate fair? Discount and crossover-year math vs your utility.
