Solar simulation calculator for thermal solar systems

Determine the possible annual yield of a solar thermal system in just a few steps.


If you want to find out how you can use free solar energy to reduce your heating costs and protect the environment at the same time, then you've come to the right place! Our solar thermal simulation calculation offers you the opportunity to determine the solar coverage ratio and thus the economic efficiency as well as the benefits and potential savings of a solar thermal system for DHW heating and central heating backup.

In order to provide you with the best possible support for your projects, a special calculation ID will be generated, which we can use to assign the simulation calculations if necessary. If you have any questions about the simulation calculation later or would like a customised offer for your project, we can use this ID to access the calculation data in order to provide you with an offer or suggestions for improvement.

We would therefore like to point out that the data you submit to us in the following form will be stored for this purpose. If you do not agree to the storage of this data, please do not perform the calculation.

Furthermore, the location data you provide will be transmitted to Google Maps, regardless of the general cookie setting on our site. To perform a calculation, you must agree to this, otherwise please do not perform a calculation.

FAQ about the solar thermal simulation calculation


What is the solar coverage ratio?

The solar coverage ratio shows you how much of your energy requirements can be covered by the sun. Using the simulation calculation, you can determine very precisely how you can significantly reduce your running energy costs in the long term by using clean, renewable solar energy. In addition, you can use our simulation to better understand the long-term savings potential and the financial benefits of investing in a solar thermal system.




Do I see in the calculation how much money I can save with a solar thermal system?

The financial savings from installing a solar thermal system depend on many factors, for example, the purchasing costs and the energy costs of your primary heat source, which are continually changing, usually in the form of an increase in the price of energy. In our heating cost comparison , you can determine the ongoing energy costs including a price increase rate over a longer period of time and thus also get an indication of the cost savings from the solar thermal system. Find out how quickly your investment can be amortised and how much money you can save in the long term by operating such a system.

Is the usage of the simulation calculation free of charge?

The free solar calculator is a service that Solarbayer provides you with as a planning aid, e.g. to determine the economic efficiency or the possible savings from the solar thermal system.




How does the simulation calculation work?

Our simulation calculation takes various factors into account, including the size of your living space, your geographical location, the orientation and pitch of your roof and your current energy consumption. On this basis, we create a customised analysis that provides you with clear insights into the benefits of a solar thermal system.


Are you a planner or installer and need a professional calculation?

For special system configurations, we are at your disposal with all our expertise and the proven Solarbayer customer friendliness. We can also create a suitable simulation calculation for individual hydraulic requirements to support you in your projects and planning. Please contact us by e-mail if you require this.
