Energy
Name | Source | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
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 ($) | Softledger | Real historical cash flows based on transaction records from Softledger. As of 2023 revenues and expenses are Revenues are currently input on an accrual a cash basis. |
Advised ($) | Utility meter/bills | Cash flows based on utility generation (“Advised”) and associated bills, statements and Ecogy-issued invoices as input into the Cash Flow Payment Logs. |
Anticipated ($) | SN meter + Pro Forma | This is calculated using Actual energy production (measured via either a Utility meter or on an Ecogy meter where that is not possible) as an input into all revenue streams as forecasted in the Pro Forma to provide a very precise and accurate Expected cash flow. |
Forecast ($) | Modeling + Pro Forma | This is forecasted Forecasted generation fed through the Pro Forma to determine a forecast of future cash flows. |
