Visualize Your Savings: The Science of Solar Simulation

Introduction

In the old days, a solar salesman would look at your roof, lick his thumb, and say, "Sir, put 5kW."

That wasn't engineering; it was guessing.

Today, we use data. We know exactly how much sun falls on Dhule vs Jalgaon. We know the degradation rate of a panel in Year 10. And we can simulate your financial future with high accuracy.

Our Solar Savings Calculator is the first step in this scientific process.


What is a "Solar Simulation"?

A simulation is a digital twin of reality. Before we drill a single hole in your roof, we want to know:

  1. Generation Potential: How many units will this system produce in May vs December?
  2. Financial Degradation: How does the output drop by 0.6% every year?
  3. Tariff Inflation: If electricity rates rise by 5% yearly, how much more do you save in 2030?

The "Quick Estimate" Engine

Our current Solar Simulator runs a "Quick Estimate" model designed for speed.

It inputs your Electricity Bill Amount and runs the following logic:

1. The Energy-to-Power Ratio

It reverse-calculates your consumption.

  • Bill: ₹3,000 -> Units: ~350 kWh.
  • Irradiance Factor: In our region, 1 kW of solar generates ~4 units/day (annual avg).
  • Result: You need a 3 kW system to offset this.

2. The Subsidy Logic

It instantly applies the PM Surya Ghar caps.

  • If you need 2 kW, it subtracts ₹60,000.
  • If you need 4 kW, it subtracts ₹78,000.

3. The 25-Year Horizon

This is where the simulation shines. It doesn't just show you today's saving. It projects the cumulative savings over the system's life.

  • Investment: ₹1.8 Lakh.
  • Lifetime Savings: ₹15 Lakhs+.

Why "Shadow Analysis" Matters (Phase 2)

While our online tool gives you the financial picture, our on-site engineers perform the physical simulation.

We look for Azimuth and Tilt.

  • South Facing: Best generation.
  • Shadow Casters: That water tank or neighbor's building might cast a shadow at 4 PM in winter.

Note: We are building a "Map-Based Roof Designer" directly into our website soon, which will let you draw obstacles and see shadow effects online!


Don't Fly Blind.

You wouldn't build a house without a blueprint. Don't install a power plant without a simulation.

Start with the financial model. If the ROI makes sense (and it usually does, with a 3-4 year payback), book a site visit for the physical analysis.
