🌞 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
