The Updated MYSUN Solar Calculator : Your

go-to tool for Estimating Your Solar Potential

in Seconds

The MYSUN Solar Calculator, India’s most popular online solar self-assessment tool,
has helped millions of Indians evaluate their solar potential. Backed with AI technology,
the calculator has enabled the power consumers of the country to pre-estimate their
savings, investment and return on investment from solar as per their unique
geographical location.
Having empowered consumers across categories- Residential, Commercial & Industrial
with the ability to simulate their personalized solar benefits, the MYSUN solar calculator
has today become an indispensable step in the solar journey of home and business
owners in India.

This growing significance of the calculator is one of the key reasons why we continue to
pay persistent attention to the calculator’s user experience and recently worked on
improving it even further. Today, with the help of this blog we hope to bring forth the new
upgrades and amazing features which entails all-new MYSUN Solar Calculator.

New Features of the MYSUN Solar Calculator

In addition to the already existing functionality which fetches you your solar savings,
optimum system size, required investment, and return on investment, the new features
added to the upgraded version of the MYSUN Solar Calculator can be grouped broadly
in these three categories:

1.Complete New Interface for a Better User Experience

2. Exclusive Financing Fold for clear comparison of your Financing / Ownership
Options
3. A Complementary detailed report for more flexible assessment

1. Complete New UI for a Better User Experience

User experience is critical for gaining affinity towards any product that we use. The
upgraded MYSUN Solar Calculator therefore has an improved experience at the core of
its build. The new MYSUN Solar Calculator brings several advanced personalization
options giving the users a complete control of their solarization requirement. The
upgraded version provides you a one-stop destination for all your solar calculations. The
neat design groups and divides the features into separate folds making it easy for you to
navigate through both - the technical and financial aspects of the output.

While the first fold displays an easy to comprehend basic assessment of your solar
potential, the second fold displays the advanced customizable features, making it easy
for you to input the values as per their unique architectural requirement and check the
impact of these adjustments on your energy generation, savings and returns from solar.
For example, if your rooftop structure is sloping instead of flat, with the new calculator
you can now check its impact on your system’s energy generation capacity and thereby
your returns from solar. Based on this you can determine if you need to opt for a higher
system size to meet your power requirements, given you have sufficient roof area and
flexibility to increase the system size as per your sanctioned load and your state’s solar
policy.
You can also check your precise solar potential by adjusting the sanctioned load,
connection type i.e low tension/ high tension, net-metering preference, available roof
area, solar energy consumption and shadow casting objects as per your specific
requirement. You can even check your savings from solar as per the orientation of solar
modules i.e. east, west, north or south facing. The new MYSUN solar calculator thus,
gives you the ability to access your benefits from solar more accurately than before.

2. An Exclusive Financing Fold for Solar Financing

Comparisons
The improved MYSUN Solar calculator now carries an exclusive Financing fold to
demonstrate the various financing options which you can opt for while going solar. In a
well demonstrated comparison between CAPEX(Capital Expenditure), DPA(Deferred
Payment Agreement) and PPA(Power Purchase Agreement) models of financing/buying
solar, the financing fold illustrates the financial gains that you can be reaping or missing
out on by choosing a particular solar financing option.
For example, if you are a commercial category power consumer from Delhi with an
average monthly electricity bill of INR 1 Lakh, the calculator shows how your savings
from solar will be the highest if you went solar under CAPEX model of buying solar than
the DPA or PPA.

The financing fold also shows you the Payback period and the Equity IRR of your solar
investment, thereby helping you compare and find your optimum solar financing/buying
model as per your financial need/situation. For example, as shown by the calculator
below, a commercial business unit from Delhi with an average electricity bill of INR 1
Lakh can expect to earn the payback from its solar investment in 1.9 years in case
of CAPEX and 2.2 years in case of DPA. Post this timeframe, the business can enjoy
electricity from solar virtually for free.

In addition to these, the financing fold also brings forth what often gets overlooked when
choosing an optimum solar buying model, i.e the Levelized Cost of Power to you - the
average per unit cost of energy which you will incur in each of these solar
financing/buying models in the next 25 years of your solar journey. In the case of the
above example, the levelized cost of power for a commercial set up in Delhi with INR 1
Lakh monthly power bill will be the lowest in case of CAPEX followed by DPA, PPA and
then the grid electricity:

3. The Complimentary Detailed Report to give you more

flexibility
While providing a detailed online assessment of your solar potential, the new MYSUN
Solar calculator also allows you to take your initial assessment offline, thus, giving you
the opportunity to document and discuss the assessment with your team and family.
Generated by AI technology, the downloadable report-cum-proposal gives you a detailed
overview of your benefits from solar along with the cost involved and the deliverables
you can expect when you go solar with MYSUN. This makes it easy for you, especially if
you are a business leader, to arrive at a more thought-through decision on how you
should be proceeding with your solar system purchase. Being indicative in nature, you
can connect with MYSUN Solar Advisors for a more accurate proposal.

of 25 years. To make the most from this investment, it is best to have a clear picture of
where the investment will lead you or your organization. The upgraded MYSUN Solar
