SolarPlaner - Photovoltaik

Discover your home's solar potential: Place solar panels on an aerial image of your roof or create a standalone system layout. Calculate solar yield, self-consumption, energy self-sufficiency and financial returns. Check your solar quote and see how much electricity your system is expected to generate with the 7-day solar forecast.

SolarPlaner helps you explore and compare photovoltaic systems and balcony solar systems – from panel layouts and battery storage to solar quote analysis.

PLAN SOLAR PANELS ON YOUR OWN ROOF

Enter an address and plan directly on a high-resolution aerial image. Detect roof areas automatically or draw them yourself. Place solar panels automatically and adjust the layout to your needs.

Plan across pitched roofs, flat roofs and multiple roof areas. Compare different panel layouts and adjust roof pitch, orientation and panel spacing.

FLEXIBLE LAYOUTS FOR BALCONY SOLAR AND MORE

Create your solar system without an aerial image or a defined roof area. The standalone layout mode is particularly useful for balcony solar systems, facade installations and other setups that are difficult to represent on an aerial image.

SOLAR YIELD, SUNLIGHT AND SHADE

Estimate potential electricity generation based on location, panel power, orientation, roof pitch and shading.

Explore sunlight exposure on your roof and see how shadows move throughout the day. Hourly shading analysis is available for any day of the year, helping you identify suitable roof areas and panel positions.

SELF-CONSUMPTION, SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND BATTERY STORAGE

Calculate how much solar electricity you could use yourself and what share of your electricity demand your system could cover. Account for your consumption profile and compare battery sizes to assess their impact on self-consumption and energy self-sufficiency.

FINANCIAL RETURNS AND PAYBACK PERIOD

Assess whether your planned solar system could be a worthwhile investment. Include purchase costs, additional expenses, financing, electricity prices and payments for electricity exported to the grid.

Clear tables show savings, income, running costs and the estimated payback period. Compare system configurations and see how your assumptions affect the results.

CHECK SOLAR QUOTES AND ASSESS PRICES

Upload your solar installation quote as a PDF or image. The quote checker presents key details clearly and assesses prices against reference values.

Get insights into components, payment terms, warranty information and potentially missing services. Identify possible issues and ask your installer more targeted questions.

7-DAY SOLAR FORECAST

See how much electricity your planned solar system is expected to generate over the next seven days. The hourly breakdown shows when and how much electricity production to expect.
