Cost optimization

Posted by Daniel Marmander at October 16. 2009
Many times there are certain treshold values that affects which layout that is the best.

The most common treshold is the grid connection, which often costs much more when exceeding a certain maximum power.

It would be nice to have the function to do (as a start a very rough) econimical evaluation. Input values could be costs/profits for each kWh, and costs/profits that are fixed. There would have to be some way to use treshold values for the costs, in order to truly optimize.

I already do this but as you might expect its not available in the open source version.


Sorry.

Ok.

Perhaps it isn't decided yet, but how much is the commercial version going to cost?

If it's too expensive, I'll just install U++ and do the additional coding myself ;)
