Calculate the reduction in carbon emissions from using solar power

Calculate the reduction in carbon emissions from using solar power

CO2 Emission Reduction With Solar

  • Calculate carbon footprint reduction possible by opting solar energy
  • Input the solar power plant capacity
  • Based on it, we will calculate the amount of CO2 emissions reduced which in turn reduce global warming


CO2 Emission Reduction With Solar


Solar Plant Capacity:

kW

Rate of sunshine availability in your area(Enter 4 for regions with more than 300 days of sunshine, 3.5 for regions between 250 and 300 days and 3 for regions between 150-250 days)


kWh

CO2 Emission Reduced

Inputs

Solar Plant Capacity:

$C kW

Approximate units per kW per day:

$U kWh

Results

CO2 emissions reduced: $answer Tons per year

Assumptions
  • Reduction of CO2 emission per 1 kWh of solar power = 0.8 kg of CO2
  • Please note that the above calculation considers only the reduction in CO2 emissions for the electricity generated from a solar power plant vs. a coal and does not take into account CO2 from other parts of the value chain.
