The Data Behind Solar Analysis Tools: How Accurate Are They?
The first step of a solar analysis often involves an Energy Usage Profile (EUP), which is a detailed representation of how energy is consumed at a site or by a system over time. ETB Developer will use the EUP to help understand patterns of energy consumption, identify peak usage periods, and potentially optimize energy efficiency.
