Energy ROI Calculator

Africa has some of the highest solar potential on Earth. Calculate your return on solar panels, wind turbines, or heat pumps — with South Africa's Section 12B tax incentive, Morocco's MASEN financing, and Kenya's zero-duty imports factored in.

25-Year Cumulative Net Savings

Assumes 0.5%/year degradation and flat electricity rate of $0.12/kWh. Actual results vary.

How this calculator works

• Annual production = system kW × peak sun hours (by region) × 365 days × 0.80 performance ratio
• Annual savings = annual production × your electricity rate
• Payback year = net cost (after incentives) ÷ annual savings
• 25-year projection uses 0.5%/year panel degradation (industry standard)

Results are estimates. Actual performance varies with weather, equipment, and site conditions. See our methodology for full calculation details.
