Sunlight through the year

Mar is the strongest month at 6.23 kWh/m² a day and Jun the leanest at 3.78. Air temperature runs from 24.7 to 28.3 °C. Source: typical year from PVGIS-SARAH3, at 16 m above sea level. The 100 kWp figure is the estimator’s, for a flat roof with open sky, and carries a band of about plus or minus fifteen per cent.

We do not print a tariff for Lagos: rates differ by utility and customer class, so the estimator below uses the rate from your own bill.

Lagos is filled in. Add your roof and your rate.

1 What kind of system? This decides which of the questions below are worth asking.
2 Where it is, and what the roof is like The sunlight at your coordinates is the largest input to everything that follows.
Shape
Anything shading it?
3 What you use, and what it costs Your own tariff, so the saving is yours rather than an average.
An off-grid or hybrid system is sized against what you use, so one of these is needed. Solar beside generators is sized against the load they carry, so one of these is needed.
When do you use most of it? This decides how much of the generation you use rather than export.
Add a battery? Without one, solar can carry about 60% of the daytime load. With one, the sets rest through the day and into the evening.

Energy figures only — no price, and not a quote. This estimate shows what a system could generate and what that energy is worth at the tariff you give. It never prices a system: a price comes from an engineer after a site survey. The figures are estimates under our engineering disclaimer. What you enter here is not stored. If you send an enquiry, we keep your details to answer it and delete an enquiry that does not become a job after 24 months — see the privacy notice.

What it is not

WattGro is project software, not an engineer. Every number is an engineering estimate until a qualified engineer has surveyed the site and signed the design. The public estimator never prices a system.
