I built an ad-free, interactive solar simulator with automatic geo-localization

Hey everyone,

I got incredibly tired of standard solar calculators online being bloated with tracking scripts, intrusive ad placements, and hidden lead-generation forms meant to sell user data to aggressive installer networks.

As an electrical engineering student, I wanted to build a clean alternative that runs the math transparently.

What it handles on the initial load:

Auto Regionalization: Client geo-detection automatically updates your target currency matrix and hooks into localized utility tariff tiers on load.

Honest Losses: Applies a 20% system degradation multiplier out of the gate for real-world inverter limits and thermal degradation rather than relying on unrealistic lab maximums.

Interactive Engine: Built to instantly re-calculate a 25-year cumulative savings graph as you move the monthly bill slider.

Check your configurations completely ad-free here:

I'd love to hear your feedback on the payback math models or UI responsiveness!
