Actual Energy (kWh)

Ecogy meter (or the Utility meter in the future)

Generation measured by Ecogy’s meter (see Mission Data) via the Econode and stored in Solar Network.

Expected Energy (kWh)

Irradiance

Local pyranometer irradiance data processed by the AMS and mapped onto the system configuration to produce a metric for what the system “should be” producing.

Forecast Energy (kWh)

Modeling

A projection of what a model generated by PV Watts or Helioscope indicates the system will produce each month of the year.

Actual ($)

Softledger

Real historical cash flows based on transaction records from Softledger. As of 2023 revenues and expenses are input on an accrual basis.

Advised ($)

Utility meter/bills

Cash flows based on utility generation (“Advised”) and associated bills, input into the Cash Flow Payment Logs.

Anticipated ($)

SN meter + Pro Forma

This is calculated using Actual energy production (measured via either a Utility meter or an Ecogy meter where that is not possible) as an input into the Pro Forma to provide a very precise and accurate Expected cash flow.

Forecast ($)

Modeling + Pro Forma

This is forecasted generation fed through the Pro Forma to determine a forecast of future cash flows.
