# 🌞 8760 Energy Simulation Modeling
> Hourly (8,760 hrs/year) energy-simulation model for **solar project feasibility** using Python + PVsyst. Subject of two journal posts (Mar 2025 "Building Energy Analytics Platform"; Feb 2026 "Understanding 8760 Energy Simulation Models").

## What it is
Simulates solar generation for every hour of the year to drive **accurate financial modeling** — the bridge between energy yield and bankability.

## Why it matters
Core intellectual asset: the technical heart of both [[REModel]] and the ReNew day job. Demonstrates the finance×engineering fusion better than anything.

## Concepts to extract → [[60 - Knowledge]]
- [ ] What is an 8760 model and why hourly granularity matters
- [ ] PVsyst workflow & outputs
- [ ] From energy yield → P50/P90 → debt sizing
