Describe Load Analysis Graph

A load analysis graph in solar design is a visual representation of a building's energy consumption over a specific period. It helps in understanding the energy demand patterns and is crucial for designing an efficient solar power system. Here are the key components and benefits of a load analysis graph:

Key Components:

  1. Time Interval:

    • The graph typically displays energy usage over time intervals such as hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.

  2. Energy Consumption:

    • It shows the amount of energy consumed during each time interval.

  3. Peak Load:

    • Indicates the highest level of energy consumption during the period, which is critical for sizing the solar system.

  4. Base Load:

    • Represents the minimum level of energy consumption, showing the constant energy usage when no additional loads are applied.

  5. Seasonal Variations:

    • Displays changes in energy consumption patterns due to seasonal differences, such as higher usage in summer for cooling.

This graph shows the hourly power flow, providing details on maximum, minimum, and median solar generation, net demand, and discharge. The default view is set to a specific calendar day, which can be adjusted as needed.
  • Grid Export: Daily solar energy sent to the grid
  • Current Grid Consumption: Daily grid consumption
  • Storage Discharge: Daily battery discharge
  • Solar Generation: Daily solar system generation
  • Storage Charge: Daily battery charge
  • Proposed Grid Consumption: Daily net grid demand
