Renewable Generation Value
Split entered generation into on-site use and export. Show export income separately from avoided grid purchases.
Use renewable generation value →Battery Runtime Scenario
Apply usable share and one-way conversion efficiency to nominal DC energy, then divide available AC energy by a constant AC load.
Use battery runtime scenario →Solar Levelized Cost of Energy
Divide a finite discounted cost schedule by discounted output using entered first-year generation and degradation.
Use solar levelized cost of energy →Battery Arbitrage Scenario
Price one supplied charge/discharge cycle after round-trip loss and a user-stated degradation allowance, then extend it over counted cycles.
Use battery arbitrage scenario →Entered Solar Resource Generation Scenario
Build a monthly capacity-times-resource scenario from your supplied peak-sun hours and loss factors, without a weather lookup.
Use entered solar resource generation scenario →Solar Self-Consumption Scenario
Calculate direct self-use, import and export inside three matching energy intervals before adding their totals.
Use solar self-consumption scenario →Solar Simple Payback
Calculate annual value from supplied self-use and export quantities, then compare positive net savings with net installed cost.
Use solar simple payback →Before you use these calculations
Use generation over a clearly defined period and the matching installed capacity.
Separate export income from avoided electricity purchases.
Constant scenarios do not model weather, degradation, curtailment or a full project appraisal.
Start with the example, replace the assumptions with your measurements, then change one input to see its effect. Save or export the scenario if you need to keep its basis.
