A Guide to Modeling solar and energy storage on CCAs

If you’ve been paying attention to what’s happening in California’s solar market in the slightest bit over the past 10 years, you’re somewhat familiar with community choice aggregation (CCA). Since Marion County launched the first CCA program in 2010, the adaptation from several other counties soon followed. There are now …

Simplifying the process of retrieving usage data

Retrieving and obtaining data from a utility can be difficult and time-consuming, but completely necessary in accurately modeling solar and energy storage projects. It varies from utility to utility, and when you’re a developer, working on several projects, retrieving data for each project can take days, even weeks. If you’re going …

We Updated our SGIP Incentives

We made a small update to the logic we use to calculate (SGIP) Self Generation Incentive Program energy storage incentives that we want to make users aware of. The SGIP Program Handbook states that the energy capacity of a storage system, which the SGIP incentive is paid based on, is …
