Solar Farm Profit Calculator

Estimate solar farm revenue and operating profit

Solar project economics depend on how many kilowatt-hours you sell, the power purchase price, and recurring operations and maintenance. This calculator estimates daily and annual profit either from installed capacity and capacity factor or from a known daily generation figure.

Compare renewable economics with the Wind Turbine Profit Calculator and broader Profit Calculator.

Daily energy estimate

When you estimate from capacity, daily generation in kWh is: $$ E_{daily} = P_{MW} \times 1000 \times 24 \times CF $$ where $CF$ is the capacity factor expressed as a decimal (for example, 22% becomes 0.22). Daily profit equals revenue minus daily operating cost; annual profit multiplies the daily result by 365.
