The Challenge

Generic sizing recommendations lead to oversized or undersized systems, reducing return on investment.

The Solution

Recommend system size that maximizes ROI by optimizing self-consumption and minimizing low-value export.

Capabilities

FAQs

Size that maximizes ROI by balancing system cost against self-consumption value and export value.

Exported energy earns 5-10c/kWh while self-consumed energy saves 25-35c/kWh, so bigger isn't always better.

Planned additions (EV, pool) can be factored into sizing recommendation.

Using actual usage data provides highly accurate sizing compared to generic household estimates.

Yes, batteries enable larger systems by storing excess for evening use instead of exporting.

Sizing accounts for annual patterns, optimizing for year-round performance.

Lower export rates favor smaller systems maximizing self-consumption vs larger systems with excess export.
