Calculate Savings

How Much Money Can You
Save On Your Electric Bill?

Your electric bill
will be lowered by

Number of Golf Carts

Cost Per Kilowatt Hour
(National average is $0.35 at 1.2 KWH)

Number of Hours Charged
(Average is 5 hours per day)


 

Battery Only

Daily Cost

Yearly Cost

Daily and yearly costs are based on an average figure of 1.2 kilowatt per hour, at an average daily charge of 5 hours, on an average run of 33% depletion after 1 round of golf.

 

Battery + Solar

Daily Cost

Yearly Cost

Daily and yearly costs are based on an average figure of 1.2 kilowatt per hour, at an average daily charge of 5 hours, on an average run of 22% depletion after 1 round of golf.

More Information On Battery Life

Your savings are increased when you take into consideration that Solar extends your Battery Life. Sulfation is the primary reason that batteries need to be replaced. Solar panels provide a constant charge to the battery bank preventing the crystallization of lead sulfate and can double battery life. Take a look at an example a typical golf course can save with a fleet of 140 carts converted to Solar.

  • Batteries cost approximately $600 per golf cart
  • $600 x 140 golf carts = $84,000
  • Batteries are regularly replaced every three years
  • Over a period of three years, the golf course spends $28,000 a year:
  • $84,000 ÷ 3 years = $28,000
  • A solar golf cart will extend the battery life by two years
  • By installing solar to your golf cart, battery life is extended to five years
  • Over a period of five years, the golf course spends $16,800 a year:
  • $84,000 ÷ 5 years = $16,800
  • You can save $11,200 a year on battery costs
  • $28,000 – $16,800 = $11,200 yearly savings
