1. Your role

BuyerSellerMerchant

2. Site and investment

State or UT Initial investment (₹) Analysis period (years) Annual fixed costs (₹) Annual capacity fade (%)

State is recorded for future tariff matching; it does not automatically change rates. Solar estimates also need site coordinates.

3. Demand and current cost

Annual demand (MWh) Peak-period share of demand (%)Share available for battery discharge Shoulder-period share (%) Off-peak share (%)All three shares must total 100% Current grid cost (₹/kWh)Use delivered cost from bills Current DG cost (₹/kWh) DG share of demand (%) Proposed grid/supply cost (₹/kWh)Customer-entered scenario, not a forecast

3. Generation and sale route

Generation source Generation capacity (MW; MWdc for solar) Generation basis Annual generation (MWh) Site latitude Site longitude Solar performance ratio (%)Adjust for your plant; 80% is a screening assumption Current realised sale rate (₹/kWh) Proposed market sale-rate assumption (₹/kWh)Not yet calculated from four-year market history Annual generation degradation (%)

NASA receives an approximate 1° grid point, not your exact site coordinates. This uses horizontal irradiance, so it is a screening estimate rather than a detailed PV design model.

3. Battery trading asset

Battery details are required for merchant scenarios.

4. Battery storage
