When will this be uploaded to the database? CPS-SCA50KTL/US-480

I am having trouble including the inverter model: CPS-SCA50KTL/US-480 When I configure my solar field with this created inverter, it says it is not compatible. I tried using a similar one with different numbers that was in the database and it did it just fine. I couldn't see this inverter in the database for PV*SOL. https://www.enfsolar.com/pv/inverter-datasheet/11072/33695?utm_source=ENF&utm_medium=inverter_list&utm_campaign=enquiry_product_directory&utm_content=13983

Martin, I do understand based on the load, but the calculation is based on 80% of the consumption the client is needing so if he is needing 100kwh, the panels max would only need 80kwh to be produced and the rest 20kwh by the grid and this would have to stay consistent with the time of year and such. How would I go about making a load profile to comprehend my needs for PV*SOL?

Can PV*SOL adjust the amount of energy production from the solar array going into the consumption or have some sort of net metering adjustment?

I have playing around this idea and from my understanding, HPJ is wanting the solar array to feed straight into the customers power and the grid compensate the remaining power the solar array is not producing. I am needing the same situation and the above solution does somewhat of that but if you place it at 0%, it is not feeding into the system, but it's also not feeding into the consumption as the below photo shows. The way I see it is where the production of energy for the solar field should go directly to the consumption and supplemented by the grid for the remaining.

I need something like this where all of the produced power from the solar field (1,519,878 kwh) are consumed by the entity where it is requiring 2,144,110 and the difference between the 2 is supplemented by the grid (2,144,110-1,519,878=624,232 kwh from the grid). I hope this gives a visual as we are additionally wanting the cost comparison since we know the value we're going to charge and what the grid charges as well and understand the comparison between the two.

Basically, we want to be injunction with the electric company to where we supply a certain percentage of power needed for the consumer and the electric company picks up the rest. I'm not seeing any function can show the graphs for such scenario or finical gain of the consumer from going this route.

Marti This did help me significantly, but now I am curious to whether we can show what the third party would be saving compared between going solar and staying on the grid from an electric company? How could we show those stastics from the original usage to the new usage and the difference they would be saving? Kind regards

I am new to PV SOL software and seems to be straight forward after watching some tutorials. I was curious of how to setup the finances for a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) setup for our company. As obvious, we want to figure the analysis. What functions and inputs would I have to consider?
