Featured project

PowerPlanner — Battery & Solar Sizing Optimizer

A full-year, 8,760-hour dispatch simulation that sizes battery storage and solar for commercial and residential sites. It stacks demand-charge savings, TOU arbitrage, ancillary and capacity revenue, then ranks every power × duration option by NPV, IRR and payback.

  • Tested engine modules: load, solar, battery, tariff, dispatch, finance
  • Solar geometry & irradiance model for cities worldwide
  • CSV interval-data upload with auto column detection
  • Exports: dispatch, cash flow, sizing grid, PDF report
