Solar Battery ROI Calculator

Estimate battery NPV, simple payback, benefit-cost ratio, delivered energy, and backup duration using project-specific cost, throughput, tariff, and discount-rate assumptions.

Solar Battery ROI Calculator

Enter project cost, annual battery throughput, tariff values, and financial assumptions. Get net present value, year-one net benefit, simple payback, benefit-cost ratio, delivered energy, and a capacity-based backup estimate.

Project assumptions

Enter battery costs and annual use

Use a quote, tariff, and dispatch estimate for the project. The calculator does not infer incentives or utility rules.

Method used

Delivered energy equals charged energy multiplied by round-trip efficiency and the annual degradation factor. Annual avoided-purchase value is reduced by the export credit forgone, O&M, and entered replacement costs. NPV discounts each year’s net cash flow to year zero.

Planning estimate only. This is not a time-series dispatch model and does not determine tax eligibility, tariff eligibility, demand-charge savings, outage probability, equipment life, warranty compliance, or engineering suitability. Verify inputs with the utility, equipment provider, tax adviser, and project engineer.
