Estimated annual AC electricity from one 400W panel after modelled system losses.
Annual value at about DKK 4.65/kWh, capped to the electricity use you can actually offset.
1 kWh from one 400W panel; check this month before sizing essential loads.
Roof fit
Confirm usable roof planes, shading, inverter limits, and battery needs before accepting a final layout.
Bill fit
Adjust panel count and monthly use above so savings are capped to electricity you can offset.
Quote check
Ask suppliers to show winter output, assumed losses, and any export-credit value separately.

Model basis
The model uses south-facing panels at 56° tilt, true south orientation, and 14% system loss. Typical 600 kWh/month electricity costs are $2,370 - $3,100 (typically $2,790) using 2024-2025 cost data.
