Limitations and verification

  • Solar sizing and payback are rough planning estimates, not installer quotes or engineering designs.
  • Fuel prices, tariffs, battery costs, and outage patterns vary by city, supplier, and date.
  • Always ask installers about load audit, roof/site survey, warranties, after-sales support, and code compliance.

FAQ

Can the Energy Advisor design my solar system?

No. It gives a planning brief and questions to ask installers. Final design needs a site survey and qualified installer.

Does it account for fuel price freshness?

The tool should show source and freshness state for fuel and tariff assumptions when those assumptions affect results.

What makes the estimate more useful?

Monthly bill, generator kVA, fuel type, hours per day, outage hours, appliance load, city, and rough budget.
