PVCalc Home

PVCalc has been a pioneer in the development of web based PV calculators and custom calculators. We also offer custom alternative energy calculators that can be customized to fit your needs. Please try our on-grid and off-grid PV calculators.

The purpose of the PV calculator is to assess the cost effectiveness of installing a PV system and the energy that will be produced. It allows you to enter your custom site information and quickly model different "what if" situations. Both calculators show rebates, incentives and tax credits available based on your zip code and electric company.
