Thank you Martin, this is really appreciated.
It's one I'm going to keep an eye on for sure as I think this aspect is key in designing. From my limited knowledge this DOESN'T happen currently with the majority of PVSOL designs submitted.
The load profile I submitted was for 98692 kWh (at £14,755.68) for the year. There is a mention of 48934 kWh on the file which is confusing, but is just their internal estimate before the correct readings were ascertained. Sorry if this has confused the issue.
Thank you, the process is clearer. Can I break it down into some smaller questions please?
1. Are these figures based on 20 or 25 years?
2. As a guide when setting Annual Average Return On Capital Employed, what should this be set to as a guide?
Also, as a slight aside, when running these tests is there a simple way of selecting module areas you want in the design each time? Using this as an example, if I filled the roof with my initial design, but then want to run the above scenario, how best to select separate areas each time to model? I can't find a selector or tick box for each area to include, or not?
I totally agree. The accrued cash flow graphs can be showed for each simulation to highlight why your recommendations were made - perfect.
I understand, although I do believe this feature is very important and if advertised correctly, could really help PVSOL sales..
Again, I look forward to hearing from you and really appreciate you working with me on this - thanks.
