Field notes
The form lets visitors adjust baseline household draw from 50 to 250 W and choose among several kit sizes, orientations, and mounting angles. It also surfaces assumptions that can shift payback estimates, including shade, tariff periods, an 800 W inverter cap, and battery capacity. The page names PVGIS 5.3 and gives dated default electricity rates; its retailer links provide a route from estimate to product offers.
