Area, project cost and cost-recovery figures are indicative estimates, not a final quotation or guarantee of generation, savings or government CFA. Systems above 10 kW are treated as Commercial in this calculator and residential government CFA/subsidy is not applicable. Cost recovery is calculated using the estimated project cost after any applicable estimated CFA and the calculator's assumed yearly electricity value; actual recovery can vary with tariffs, generation, maintenance, financing and applicable approvals. Actual output depends on sunlight, shading, system efficiency, weather, roof conditions and applicable approvals.
