Calculator FAQ
Straight answers on these numbers
How accurate is this solar cost calculator?
It is a planning estimate only. Real cost depends on your roof, shading, electrical panel, utility interconnection, equipment choices, and labor. Use it to get oriented, then a free on-site assessment for figures you can act on.
Does this include the South Carolina tax credit?
The optional toggle subtracts a simplified view of SC’s 25% state income-tax credit (subject to annual and lifetime caps). Whether you can claim it depends on your tax situation—confirm with a tax professional. The federal residential credit expired for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025.
Why does utility matter for payback?
After 1:1 net metering closed for many new residential systems, exported energy is often credited below the retail rate. Self-consumption and storage change the math. We model your utility during the free assessment.
What average system size do you install?
Many homes we design land near about 9.5 kW, but the right size is driven by your usage and goals—not a sales quota.
