How we calculate

A transparent model, not a black box.

Irradiance

Peak sun hours range from ~2.7/day (UK winter-weighted) to 6.4/day (Phoenix). We use NASA SSE long-run averages and calibrate against our installed fleet — including NZ-specific data from our Auckland and Queenstown sites.

System derate

A 0.78 multiplier accounts for soiling, thermal losses (NZ runs cool, MENA runs hot, both lose yield differently), mismatch, wiring, inverter efficiency, and 0.8%/yr degradation.

CapEx & savings

CapEx multiplies panel cost by 1.6× to capture inverter, mounting, BOS, wiring, and installer labor — calibrated to local-market price tiers. Lifetime savings discount each year by 0.8% panel degradation.
