The GridPoint™ Clean Power Estimator tool is designed to provide you with an estimate of the economic feasibility and benefits of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system in your location. The tool generates a variety of detailed information based on calculations and comparisons from published research methods.

The tool requires various inputs from you in order to customize the reports displayed to you. This input information may be changed or updated any time to better reflect your personal situation and needs. This information is private and will not be used outside of this tool.

Key inputs include your location and customer type (residential or commercial and pre-collected data such as electric rate schedules; federal and state income tax rates; federal, state, and utility economic incentives local weather data; electric load profiles; and PV system performance.

Understanding the implications of having a PV system in your area is key to designing the system that is right for you. As the potential economic incentives and tax benefits of purchasing a renewable energy system differ by state and area, you should confirm the availability of the economic incentives and consult your tax advisor about the tax deductibility of any interest payments.
