1. What is the Tesla Solar Panel Cost Calculator?

The Tesla Solar Panel Cost Calculator estimates the total cost of installing Tesla solar panels in the UK based on system size, price per kW, and installation costs. It helps homeowners plan their solar energy investment.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( System\ Size \) — Solar panel system capacity in kilowatts (kW)
