ANNUAL SPACE-HEATING COMPARISON
See the whole picture
Mini-splits
Electricity cost / yearMini-splits + solar
Choose a share of the annual mini-split electricity expense. At 100%, solar covers that modeled energy expense. This is a bill-offset scenario, not a prediction of solar production or a zero total utility bill.
Switching to mini-splits
Annual heating energy expense only. Solar and heating-system purchase, installation and financing costs are excluded.
Show the math and assumptions
This is a full space-heating replacement comparison, not a system-sizing calculation. It excludes cooling, water heating, backup fuel, fixed utility charges, maintenance, incentives, escalation and all equipment purchase, installation and financing costs. Solar is a selected percentage of the annual mini-split energy bill, not a claim about winter production, physical grid imports or outage capability. Export value and credit usability must be checked for your account.
What about a battery?
A battery can store daytime solar for evening use and support selected loads during an outage. It does not create extra solar energy. Its value depends on export credits, losses, operating settings, cost and backup needs. Storage savings are not added to this comparison. Ask NES which equipment your backup system could actually run.
