A first estimate
for your rooftop.
Four inputs give a rough system size, price range, saving and payback for grid-tied solar. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a quotation: a site survey decides the real design.
Terms of this estimate
- This is a preliminary estimate, not an offer or a quotation. No agreement is made by using it.
- Prices are indicative, exclude VAT and other taxes, and are reviewed every six months. The prices here were set on 10 October 2026 and are valid until 10 April 2027; after that date the calculator stops showing prices until they are updated.
- The final design, output and price are set out in a written proposal after a site survey. They can differ from this estimate because of site conditions, equipment availability, supplier prices, exchange rates and duties.
- Savings and payback depend on your actual electricity use, tariffs and weather. They are not guaranteed.
- Equipment warranties are given by the manufacturers under their own warranty certificates.
- What you enter stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to Sun Solution unless you submit the enquiry form.
What the estimate assumes
Version 2026-10-10-v1, approved by Sun Solution on 2026-10-10. Simple payback is the price divided by the yearly saving after upkeep; it ignores panel ageing, financing, tax and tariff changes.
| Item | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Solar yield | 1,250 / 1,350 / 1,450 kWh per kWp a year | Global Solar Atlas average for 67 Bangladeshi factory sites is 1,468 kWh/kWp (Talut, Bahaj & James, Energies 15(11):4037, 2022). Scenarios sit below it to allow for heat, dust and flat roofs. |
| Roof area | 6 m² per kWp | Panel area about 4.3 m² per kWp (JA Solar JAM66D45 625 W: 2.70 m²) plus spacing and walkways. |
| Price | Tk 45,000 to 37,500 per kWp, excl. VAT, by size, shown ±10% | Built from Sun Solution quotation Rev 02 (6 Oct 2026) line items: panels, cables, protection, earthing, structure, installation, transport; on-grid inverter priced from the supplier list with the same mark-up as Rev 02. |
| Price validity | Set 10 October 2026, valid until 10 April 2027 | Owner instruction (10 Oct 2026): calculator prices change every 6 months. After the date the page shows sizes and energy only. |
| Upkeep | 1% of price a year | Planning assumption for cleaning, checks and minor parts. |
| Surplus solar | Valued at Tk 0 | Net metering eligibility depends on the connection (SREDA Net Metering Guidelines 2025); not assumed. |
| Starting price per unit | Tk 10.63 per kWh, editable | BERC average retail price after the June 2026 increase (Prothom Alo, 3 Jun 2026; The Daily Star, 4 Jun 2026). Commercial and industrial rates are higher, so this understates savings for most buyers. |
| VAT on electricity bills | 5% | Used only when a visitor enters a bill amount instead of units. |
| Minimum system | 5 kWp | Smallest commercial system Sun Solution quotes. |
| System size | Covers 80% of daytime use on working days | Leaves headroom for light days and closed days, when surplus output has no value here. |
