I would suggest a check box or similar to be included in a future update of the program so as to include or exclude savings from the cash flow tables.
The inclusion of savings makes it difficult to compare e.g. calculated IRR or payback periods with IRR or payback periods on other solar projects.
I am simulating a bifacial system with east-west configuration.
Albedo is set to 100 and modules are elevated to a height to secure rear irridiance -- not intended under real system operation.
PVSol reports on ground reflection (albedo), but no rear irridiance.
In south configuration with the same panel, I do get rear irridiance, but not in east-west.
Any special trick to east-west config?

This is with reference to bifacial modules and 3D visualization.
I am able to create an elevation in 2D, but not in 3D.
Since no elevation in 3D, no rear side production.
Modules placed on roof, tested for various mounting structures.

Is the economic efficiency indicator Electricity production cost (currency/kWh) calculated on the basis of and the equivalent of a levelized cost of electricity?

I am looking for information on the number of cycles that the battery makes in for example a year. I see the parameter cycle load, but can not find information on this indicator in the FAQ. Is no of cycles for a battery calculated?
