Could you build this?
Partial Form-based planners with parts lists are easy to build, but accurate solar and rainwater sizing depends on engineering assumptions, local climate data, and current regional parts pricing that vibe coding alone won't supply.
What it would actually take: The stack is a web calculator frontend with a sizing engine using irradiance and rainfall datasets such as NREL PVWatts or local precipitation records, plus a maintained parts and price catalogue. The hard parts are correct load and system-sizing math and keeping prices current. Someone with solar or hydrology engineering knowledge should validate the outputs, and a small data pipeline is needed for pricing.
