Lifestyle

Your solar system will generate electricity all day. Your home consumption will sometimes be more than your system generates and sometime less. When it is less you will export electricity and potentially get a feed in tariff paid. Please estimate how much of your solar system generation will be consumed within your house vs solar electricity being exported.

Mostly at Home during day
Mainly use solar electricity
Mostly out during day
Mostly export and sell solar electricity

Disclaimer: This calculator allows you to enter certain data such as your monthly electricity bill and the average cost of electricity in your area. The calculator then also asks you to make assumptions about solar used versus solar exported during the day. This calculator is not to be seen as a precise tool. It is only providing an indication and demonstration of how solar electricity used versus solar exported works. The solar used versus solar exported varies depending on your own personal electricity consumption patterns. Also the feed in tariff system changes in NZ from retailer to retailer. So only a general estimate is possible. LG encourages you to discuss your energy consumption pattern with your chosen solar installation company to create the best solution for you having regard to your individual circumstances.
