Hey Product Hunt community! ๐
Most residential solar calculators on the web today share two major flaws:
1. They force you through an aggressive phone/email lead-capture wall before showing any numbers.
2. They rely on outdated 1:1 net metering math that completely ignores modern grid regulations like California NEM 3.0.
We built **SolarSavingsHQ** to provide a fast, 100% free, and transparent clean energy financial engine:
โก **Instant Client-Side Physics**: Sizing calculations adhere to NREL PVWatts v8 standards (0.80 system derate factor).
๐ **NEM 3.0 & Battery Arbitrage**: Models how home lithium battery storage captures peak evening time-of-use rates.
๐ฐ **25-Year Compound Financial Trajectory**: Factors in 3.0% annual utility electricity inflation against 0.5% annual photovoltaic panel degradation.
โ๏ธ **11-State Solar Heatmap**: Visualizes 12-month solar irradiance variance and regional tariffs.
Would love to hear your feedback on the calculation models and UI!
