Compare solar savings

How much solar will you use at home? Compare sizes before comparing quotes.

Your household assumptions

Enter your price to calculate annual savings, payback and the 10-year benefit. Use the cost avoided for each grid kWh, including relevant variable charges and tax; exclude fixed charges. No official or fallback price is used.

1,600 is an editable illustration, not a site forecast. Use an installer estimate reflecting orientation, shading and losses.

Share of solar production used at the same time it is generated. 40% is illustrative, not the share of your household demand.

Compare your options

Sizes and installation costs below are editable illustrations, not Cyprus market quotes. No eligibility or grid-connection approval is implied.

Direct-use savings only; export credits are not included. Payback and 10-year figures are simplified estimates assuming unchanged annual generation, consumption and electricity price. Maintenance, financing, degradation, batteries, grants and future electricity price changes are excluded. Not a guaranteed return.

Option 1

Editable illustrative example, not a Cyprus market quotation. Replace with your installation quote.

Annual generation
4,800 kWh
Used directly at home
1,920 kWh
Exported to grid
2,880 kWh
Remaining grid imports
4,080 kWh
Installation cost
€4,500.00

Calculation

3 × 1600 = 4,800 kWh
Direct use: min(4,800 × 40%, 6000) = 1,920 kWh

Option 2

Editable illustrative example, not a Cyprus market quotation. Replace with your installation quote.

Annual generation
8,000 kWh
Used directly at home
3,200 kWh
Exported to grid
4,800 kWh
Remaining grid imports
2,800 kWh
Installation cost
€6,500.00

Calculation

5 × 1600 = 8,000 kWh
Direct use: min(8,000 × 40%, 6000) = 3,200 kWh

Option 3

The value of using solar now

Directly used solar reduces grid imports. Moving flexible demand into solar hours can increase this share. Annual totals are a simplified model: they cannot predict hourly matching, winter deficits, battery performance or curtailment.

Exports are not valued here

These are direct-use savings only, not whole-scheme savings. Export credits may add value depending on your scheme, price and expiry. Payback excludes maintenance, financing, degradation, battery costs, grants and future price changes; it is not a return guarantee.
