Show the rows with a battery

* Green tech: 15% for panels, 50% for a battery, of 97% of the price, at most 50,000 kr per person and year. Example prices from Numsolar's price list for installers, 2026-11-09. Your installer's price will differ: ask for several quotes. Savings: south roof, 20,000 kWh a year, someone home in the day.

What fits your house?

Pick roof, roof area, power use and car. We give one advice and three options.

Car: at home in the day it charges with solar, else from 17:00.

Our advice: fill the roof. 30 panels (12.6 kW) pays back in 13.9 years and gives 140,948 kr net over 25 years.

The same house in Luleå and Malmö: 895 and 1,035 kWh per kW against Jönköping’s 910.

The same house in each city: 20 panels facing south, 20,000 kWh a year, someone home in the day, no battery. The battery: 10 kWh, the warranty is 10 years.

Does the roof direction matter?

Yes, more than anything. South gives 2,664 kWh more a year than north with 20 panels.

South-east and south-west are 5% below south, east and west 16%, north 35%. With both east and west, use both; with only north, try the garage.

* 20 panels without a battery, 20,000 kWh a year, at home in the day. 27° roof.

Does a battery pay off?

Not for your wallet. For backup power and more of your own solar: yes.

  • 10 kWh on the reference house (20 panels): saves 3,231 kr more a year, costs 54,820 kr more. Paid back in 17.0 years; the warranty is 10 years.
  • The deduction is 50% for a battery, but the panels use most of the 50,000 kr cap per person: one owner gets 27,533 kr (33%) for the battery. Two owners: more.
  • The battery earns most by storing cheap night power for expensive hours; that is how our calculator runs it. The flows per season are under Seasons.
  • Backup power needs an inverter with a backup function. For the fastest payback: wait with the battery.

What makes the biggest difference to the savings?

Five choices, ranked in kronor.

Right roof face +2,664 kWh/yr South instead of north, 20 panels.
Fill the roof +91,761 kr net over 25 years 30 panels instead of 10. A large part of the price is fixed.
Power at midday +1,307 kr/yr Someone home 8–17 versus all away. Laundry, dishes and hot water in the daytime.
Charge the car in the daytime +794 kr/yr The car takes 893 kWh of solar a year. Charging from 17:00 gives 0 kr.
Battery +3,231 kr/yr, −54,820 kr Last in line. See Does a battery pay off?

We count 30 km of driving a day. The charger (often 10,000–15,000 kr, 50% green tech) is not included: you need it with or without solar. If everyone is away 8–17, 53% of the solar power is sold at the spot price.

How much do solar panels give in winter?

Winter gives 6% of the year's solar. Spring and autumn bring 53% of the savings.

Summer brings 41% of the solar power and the reference house sells 41% of it at the spot price (0.79 kr on average). In winter the panels cover 6% of the house's power; every kWh you do not buy is worth 1.79 kr.

How solid are the numbers?

The same engine as the calculator, example prices, a house without shade.

  • Engine: the same as our calculator. Sun position every 15 minutes; power, battery and car hour by hour, one year.
  • House: made up, central Jönköping, 27° roof, no shade, 420 W panels.
  • Weather: PVGIS for the place. Power price: SE3 spot 2025-11-09 to 2026-11-09 + markup 0.05 kr + Jönköping Energi Nät 0.23 kr + energy tax 0.36 kr (Swedish Tax Agency 2026) + 25% VAT = 1.79 kr/kWh.
  • Price: Numsolar's example price list for installers, incl. VAT, after the green tech deduction for one owner. No charger. Your installer's price will differ.
  • Payback = price ÷ first-year savings. Net over 25 years = 25 years of no-battery savings + 10 years of battery savings − price.
  • Not counted: panel ageing (about 0.4%/yr), an inverter swap after 12–15 years, a changed power price. They cut the net by about 15%; the ranking holds.

Questions and answers

Do solar panels pay off in Jönköping?

Yes, facing south, south-east or south-west. East and west: yes, 2.3 years longer payback. North: no. Our pick for 20,000 kWh a year: 30 panels (12.6 kW), 175,927 kr after the deduction, saves 12,675 kr a year, paid back in 13.9 years.

Does a battery pay off?

Not for your wallet. 10 kWh saves 3,231 kr more a year and costs 54,820 kr more; paid back in 17.0 years, the warranty is 10 years. For backup power and more of your own solar: yes.

How much do the panels give in winter?

Little. December to February give 6% of the year's solar and cover 6% of the house's power. Summer gives 41%.

Does a north-facing roof work?

It gives 65% of a south roof; the payback is 19.5 years. With another roof face or a garage, use that.

What does price zone SE3 mean for my solar power?

The SE3 spot price averaged 0.79 kr/kWh over the last year. A kWh you use yourself is worth 1.79 kr with markup, grid fee, energy tax and VAT; a sold kWh earns the spot price. SE1: 0.45 kr, SE4: 1.04 kr.

What are the green tech deduction rules?

15% for panels, 50% for a battery and a charger, counted on 97% of the price (the Tax Agency's standard rate, so 48.5% of a battery's price), at most 50,000 kr per person and year. The 60 öre credit per sold kWh ended on 1 January 2026.
