The Keiste Solar Report is a powerful WordPress plugin that provides comprehensive solar project analysis for US, Canadian, UK and Irish buildings including residential, commercial, community, business and farm buildings. Using Google's Solar API, it delivers accurate solar potential assessments, financial projections, and detailed ROI calculations.
The visitor simply enters a building address, their average monthly electricity bill amount and their preferred System Size (ie. no of solar panels). They receive a full financial and technical breakdown along with a 10-12 page bespoke-designed personalized report download (Enterprise Plan only).
NB: You will need a Google Cloud API Key to use this plugin
Calculations for the visitor's solar project include estimates of Return on Investment, CO2 saved and solar project breakeven point.
The Keiste Solar Plugin features a Google Solar API integration, interactive charts, a lead generation form (Premium Plan or above) and tons more features.
This interface uses 400W solar panels as standard. All the figures eg. grant, loan, small-medium-large system size and other estimates are entered by you the plugin admin in the settings. Figures are meant as estimates only, not as quotes. For the grant calculations to work, user must choose the correct building type from the dropdown menu. See the docs for more info.

Notes
If the building isn't designed to take solar panels on the roof. The plugin will show a 404 error. Please choose another building.
Parts of rural Ireland are not covered by the satellite and so won't appear on the results.
Panels are chosen by the system as 400W (small) panels less than 2m squared in area.
It's up to the website admin to decide all variables in the system such as grant, loan, small - medium - large installation job cost per kWh, country geographic variables etc.
Stay tuned for new country support, multi-language support and additional features.
