How do I calculate the size of a solar system?

You can use the estimate_system_capacity capability. You'll need to provide your annual energy usage in kWh and the local peak sun hours.

Can this MCP compare different ways to pay for solar?

Yes, the compare_financing_models capability lets you evaluate the differences between Purchase, Lease, and PPA options.

Will this tell me how much money I will save?

Yes, the calculate_financial_returns capability provides a breakdown of your payback period and projected savings over 25 years.

Does it provide environmental data?

Yes, the estimate_environmental_impact capability quantifies your potential carbon offset.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

How accurate are the solar capacity estimates?

Estimates depend on the accuracy of your input data, such as localPeakSunHours and annualEnergyUsageKwh. The capability uses standard degradation and efficiency loss factors to provide a realistic projection.

Can I compare different financing options?

Yes, the compare_financing_models capability allows you to evaluate the long-term net costs of Purchase, Lease, and PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) models side-by-side.

Does the calculator account for environmental benefits?

Yes, by using estimate_environmental_impact, you can calculate your annual carbon offset in kg and see the equivalent number of trees planted.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Solar Panel Calculator.

01
Estimate environmental impact
This capability calculates the carbon offset potential of a solar installation. It quantifies the environmental benefits based on the system's output.
02
Calculate financial returns
This capability generates detailed economic breakdowns for solar investments. It provides specific data on payback periods and projected 25-year savings.
03
Compare financing models
This capability evaluates different ways to fund a solar project. It compares the long-term costs of Purchase, Lease, and PPA options.
04
Estimate system capacity
This capability determines the necessary kW for a solar setup. It uses your annual energy usage and local peak sun hours to find the right size.

Real work

What teams actually run

Prospect Qualification

One connector, every AI

Solar Panel Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Solar Panel Calculator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
