I did a search in the forum for solar panels estimated energy value or PV Value calculations but couldn't find what I was looking.
Is anyone using www.pvvalue.com and the homeowner's solar specs (kW, Tilt/Pitch, Azimuth, etc) to calculate the accumulated value of the panels over say a life of 25 years?
Been doing it for a while and the estimated value has always been a fraction of the total cost paid for the installation of the panels, but seems like recently the accumulated energy value is even less
(20%+/- of the installation cost). I'm curious to see what sort of relation you're finding between the total accumulated energy value estimate vs the cost to install the panels. Thx!
