# ☀️ REModel — Renewable Energy Financial Modeling Platform
> Python calculation engine + FastAPI backend + Next.js frontend for **Indian renewable-energy** (solar) financial modeling. *This is the software embodiment of the day job.*

## Purpose
Turn the manual, spreadsheet-bound work of **utility-scale solar project finance** into a structured platform — site/technical inputs → energy yield → financial model (debt sizing, returns).

## Why it matters
Directly fuses Manohar's two strongest domains: [[Renewables Overview|renewables engineering]] and [[Finance Overview|project finance]]. The professional version of what he does at [[Renewables Overview|ReNew]].

## Architecture
- **Calc engine (Python):** the modeling core (links conceptually to [[8760 Energy Simulation]])
- **API (FastAPI):** serves model runs
- **Frontend (Next.js):** inputs + visual outputs
- Docs present: `PROJECT.md`, `PRD.md`, `CODEBASE_INVESTIGATION.md`, `RE_Financial_Modeling_Platform PRD.md`

## Status & history
53 commits over a focused **May 2026** sprint.

## Open questions / next
- [ ] Is REModel intended as a product, an internal tool, or a portfolio piece?
- [ ] Relationship to the [[8760 Energy Simulation]] platform — same codebase or successor?
