SolarRates -- Calculation Error - avg bill for solar res customer #320

Closed drdanley closed 9 years ago

drdanley commented 9 years ago

Using model "drd solar rates test 17feb15" which I derived from your corrected version of my original solar rates model. The "Avg Bill for Solar Res Customer" changes dramatically with increased solar penetration, as seen in the following table. image In my thinking, this should not change at all -- each customer has the same average starting bill and gets the same amount of solar, so their bill should stay constant. Overall revenue at the co-op changes but not the individual bill. I think there is an error in the calculation somewhere.

I can reproduce this issue. Mannan is working on a fix.

Discovered the issue, there was a flaw in the kWh demand & sold not being updated based on solar penetration %, and defaulting to "0.05". This has now been fixed!
