Is rooftop solar worth it at your home?

Free, transparent simulation with INPE's solar atlas (2017), ANEEL tariffs and Greener costs (2025) — and Lei 14.300 (Brazil's distributed-generation law, the so-called “sun tax”) already in the math. No signup, no phone number, no sales pressure.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell whether rooftop solar is worth it for my home?

SimSolar calculates feasibility from your electricity use, bill amount, municipality, utility and connection type. The result shows system size, estimated investment, monthly savings, payback and net savings over 25 years.

What data does SimSolar use to calculate solar generation and cost?

SimSolar uses irradiance from the INPE/LABREN Brazilian Solar Energy Atlas (2017), covering 5,569 municipalities. Utility tariffs come from ANEEL, and residential solar-system costs use Greener's 2025 references.

Does the solar simulation account for Lei 14.300 and Fio B?

Yes, the simulation applies the Fio B grid charge established by Lei 14.300 year by year. The model uses 60% in 2026 and the progression to 90% in 2028, which changes the estimated savings and payback.

Do I need to sign up to run a solar simulation?

No, the solar simulation does not require an account, phone number or sales form to show the result. The calculation is free and available immediately.
