CALCULATE SAVINGS
How much could balcony solar save you?
See how much a plug-in solar (balcony) panel could cut your monthly electric bill in your zip code. Bright Saver's balcony solar savings calculator uses your local residential electricity rate and your area's average daily peak sun hours to estimate what a 180W or 360W plug-in system would save you at your address each year.
Estimates are conservative, actual savings often exceed these figures for households running electric appliances during the day. Savings can approach $250 per year in high-cost states like California, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
Balcony Solar works for both renters and homeowners, no roof required.
How Balcony Solar Saves You Money
A plug-in (balcony) solar panel produces electricity from sunrise to sunset. That electricity flows into your home's wiring through a standard outdoor outlet. Your "always-on" appliances such as the fridge, Wi-Fi router, the lights, anything drawing power during the day use the generated electricity before pulling from the grid.
Every kilowatt-hour your panel generates is one you don't pay the utility for.
On a sunny afternoon, a 360W system can offset 15–20% of a typical household's daytime grid draw; accumulating savings over months and years that the calculator can estimate for your zip code.
