Payback Sizer
A sizing and payback calculator: pick a site, set the number of units and the electricity rate, and see payback years, a bar against ten years and an itemised cost, credit, savings and ten-year net sheet.
Paste it into Claude Code: it installs the component, asks for your brand and content, and places it on the page you name.
Live demo. Move the mouse and scroll inside it.
Install
Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/payback-sizer.tsx.
npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/payback-sizer.jsonPrompt
Install the pastetaste component "Payback Sizer" (payback-sizer) into this Next.js project and use it.
What it is: A sizing and payback calculator: pick a site, set the number of units and the electricity rate, and see payback years, a bar against ten years and an itemised cost, credit, savings and ten-year net sheet.
Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:
Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/payback-sizer.json
(it writes components/pastetaste/payback-sizer.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { PaybackSizer } from "@/components/pastetaste/payback-sizer" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.
Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- sites: { name, units, rate }[] = 5 farm and mill sites — Searchable presets; picking one sets the unit count and the rate.
- unitLabel / unitName: string = Cabinets / H-120 — Slider label and model code.
- unitMin / unitMax: number = 1 / 20 — Slider range.
- unitCost / unitKwh / unitKw: number = 38400 / 120 / 60 — Installed cost, energy and power of one unit.
- cyclesPerYear / spreadShare / demandPerKwMonth: number = 280 / 0.6 / 6 — Savings model: cycles shifted a year, share earning the full spread, demand charge per kW and month.
- creditShare / tenYearYield: number = 0.3 / 0.96 — Tax credit as a share of cost; output kept after ten years.
- rates / currency: number[] / string = 8 rates / $ — Select options and currency symbol.
- ctaLabel / onCta / note: string / () => void / string — Outline pill button, its handler, and the footnote.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.Props 8
