About Solar Setup Advisor
A simple, homeowner-friendly calculator for estimating solar panels, battery storage and inverter options.
What this site does
This website helps non-technical homeowners estimate:
- Solar panels: a rough number of panels needed to cover your daily electricity use.
- Battery storage: a recommended battery size based on your night usage and desired backup nights.
- Inverter approach: a simple recommendation (e.g., string inverter vs hybrid inverter vs microinverters) based on your loads and goals.
How to use it
- Select your location to set typical peak sun hours.
- Choose a quick start goal (optional) and review system settings.
- Select your appliances and set typical day/night usage.
- Review your results and open the inverter section for a recommendation.
- Use Save & Share to generate a link you can send to an installer.
Important note
This calculator provides estimates for planning and education. Your final system design should be checked by a qualified installer who will consider on-site constraints (roof area/orientation, shading, electrical limits, local codes, and equipment availability).
