The financial projection is determined by the system cost, system output and your financial settings. Correctly configuring these settings is crucial to getting an accurate financial projection.  Where do I find the financial projection? The financial proj...

The payback period is the time it takes for the benefits of the system to outweigh the costs. Easy PV calculates how much is saved on the electricity bill and earned from exporting across the payback period, using the selected tariffs and factoring in any fin...

There are a few differences between the Easy PV and MCS self-consumption calculations:   ​easy-pv.co.uk MCS Easy PV Easy PV task Completed at the end of Performance task, select MCS in Financial task to use Completed in Consumption task,...

Self-consumption is the proportion of electricity generated that is then consumed within the property. This could be directly or via a battery: Self consumption =  Solar PV electricity consumed within property (kWh) / Solar PV electricity generated (kWh) Ene...

This page can only generate with the Easy PV or MCS self-consumption method selected in the Financial task.  To fix this, follow these steps:  Navigate to the Financial task Click the Financial inputs in the top right Then make sure MCS or Easy PV is sel...

The max voltage factors in both the open circuit voltage (Voc) and the temperature coefficient (ΔVoc/°C) of the panel. The value on the datasheet is measured at standard test conditions (STC) but the actual Voc of the panels will depend on the ambient temperat...

The overview image must be updated when changes are made to the design. To do this, navigate to the Customer proposal form (before clicking generate pdf) and scroll down to the Overview page section: Select Set Image and then Save.

Easy PV returns the smallest cable cross-sectional area that achieves a voltage drop less than 1% of the voltage across the cable (or the largest cable if none do). The voltage drop along a cable is the product of the current and resistance. The current is ca...

For Quick Roof projects, you have to directly set the orientation rather than it being calculated based on the satellite map. This is done in degrees from south, going clockwise. For example: South: 0° from south  South-east: -45...

Weight loading calculations will often fail for plain tile roofs. This is because we use MCS default values for the tile density, and the value for plain tiles is much higher than other roof coverings. If you are finding your calculations are failing when you ...

To model an east-west panel layout, create a flat roof or ground mount area in any design mode. In the panels task follow these steps: Add panels to the roof/area and then select 'No mounting'  Set the direction to east-west and configure the spacing as n...

After your roofs have been created and selected, the next step is to add panels to them. This is done in the Panels task. In this task you choose the panels, the layout and the mounting system you'd like to use.  Choosing a panel When you open the panels tas...
