PV Toolbox

PV Toolbox puts five solar calculators in your pocket — everything you
need to plan, size, and evaluate a solar system, completely offline.

No account. No subscription. No ads. Just the math.


FREE TOOLS

Solar Output
Enter your system size, peak sun hours, and efficiency and get instant
daily, monthly, and annual energy projections — plus a 25-year total
with degradation factored in, and your CO₂ offset.

Payback Period
Enter your system cost, incentives, electricity rate, and rate
escalation and see your simple payback, break-even year, 25-year net
savings, and ROI — with a 30-year cumulative savings chart.


PRO TOOLS — one-time purchase, unlocks all three forever

String Sizer
Calculate safe series string lengths the right way: temperature-
corrected Voc at your site's minimum temperature and Vmp at maximum,
checked against your inverter's full voltage window. Know your exact
safe range before you wire anything.

Battery Storage
Size a battery bank for any combination of daily consumption, days of
autonomy, depth of discharge, bank voltage, battery capacity, and
round-trip efficiency. Supports lead-acid, LiFePO₄, and any other
chemistry.

Array Optimizer
Enter your panel specs and MPPT voltage range and get every possible
series/parallel configuration ranked by harvest rate — with the array
Vmp, Imp, and effective power at each operating point. Supports mixed
panel groups with automatic mismatch loss calculation.


WHO IS THIS FOR?

If you're planning a rooftop system, building an off-grid cabin setup,
sizing a van or RV solar install, or just working through the numbers
before you buy anything — PV Toolbox has the calculations you need.

WORKS 100% OFFLINE

Every calculation runs on your device. No internet connection required,
ever. Your data never leaves your phone.
