Solar Panel Calculator

Solar panels are an increasingly popular investment for Danish homeowners looking to reduce electricity costs and their carbon footprint. This calculator helps you estimate the financial return on a solar panel installation by calculating annual savings, total lifetime savings, and the payback period.

Solar Energy in Denmark

Despite Denmark's northern latitude, solar panels perform well due to long summer days and relatively cool temperatures that improve panel efficiency. A typical 6 kW residential system can produce around 5,000โ€“6,000 kWh per year, covering a significant portion of a household's electricity needs. Net metering rules in Denmark allow you to sell excess production back to the grid.

Is a Solar Panel System Worth It?

With rising electricity prices and decreasing installation costs, solar panels in Denmark typically pay for themselves within 8โ€“12 years. Given that modern panels have a lifespan of 25โ€“30 years, this means many years of essentially free electricity after the payback period.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 6 kW solar panel system produce per year?

A 6 kW solar panel system can produce a maximum of 6 kWh per hour. Under optimal conditions, it can produce between 5,800 and 6,000 kWh per year. This typically covers the electricity consumption of a family of two adults and two children.

What does a 6 kW solar panel system cost installed?

A 6 kW solar panel system costs from 125,000 kr with battery. The price of solar panels with battery depends on several factors like size and quality, but you can typically expect a battery for a 6 kW system to cost around 30,000 kr.

Is it worth having an electric car when you have solar panels?

Yes, absolutely. There are many advantages to investing in solar panels. With solar panels, you can drive on your own green electricity, which you can use to charge your EV at home.

How long does a solar battery last?

Batteries have a lifespan of around 5-15 years, depending on the type and usage.
