About Microgrid ROI Calculator

Microgrid economics

Net monthly benefit = self-production savings minus O&M. Rising utility rates increase effective savings each year—model break-even and long-horizon ROI before committing capex.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Include incentives? A: Subtract tax credits or rebates from setup cost first. Q: What counts as savings? A: Avoided grid kWh × your blended rate, plus demand-charge reductions if applicable.
