This proposal was generated using HOMER Pro, a dynamic software engine that runs
complex simulations of your hybrid electrical system’s energy data and system
components to determine the least-cost solution and most effective risk-mitigation
strategies. Originally developed at the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL), HOMER software set the global standard for optimizing
microgrid design. More than 200,000 HOMER Pro users worldwide have produced
economic feasibility studies, system design, engineering insight, and energy cost
savings.

 Glossary and Abbreviations
Net Present Value
The total net present cost (NPC) of a system is the present value of all the costs the
system incurs over its lifetime, minus the present value of all the revenue it earns over its
lifetime. Costs include capital costs, replacement costs, O & M costs, fuel costs,
emissions penalties, and the costs of buying power from the grid. Revenues include
salvage value and grid sales revenue. HOMER calculates the total NPC by summing the
total discounted cash flows in each year of the project lifetime.

Total Annualized Cost

- is the annualized value of the total net present cost. The annualized cost of a
component is the cost that, if it were to occur equally in every year of the project lifetime,
would give the same net present cost as the actual cash flow sequence associated with
that component. HOMER calculates annualized cost by first calculating the net present
cost, then multiplying it by the capital recovery factor.

Simple payback
- is the number of years at which the cumulative cash flow of the difference between the
current system and base case system switches from negative to positive. The payback is
an indication of how long it would take to recover the difference in investment costs
between the current system and the base case system.

Return on Investment (ROI)

- is the yearly cost savings relative to the initial investment. The ROI is the average
yearly difference in nominal cash flows over the project lifetime, divided by the difference
in capital cost.

Internal rate of return (IRR)

- is the discount rate at which the base case and current system have the same net
present cost. HOMER calculates the IRR by determining the discount rate that makes the
present value of the difference of the two cash flow sequences equal to zero.

HOMER Energy
About HOMER Pro
HOMER® Pro simulates engineering and economic feasibility of microgrid or distributed
energy systems that are off-grid or tied to an unreliable grid and enables the design of
least-cost electrical systems and risk-mitigation strategies. The software provides insight
into cost-effectively combining conventional and renewable energy, storage, grid
resources (where available), and load management.

In a single data run, HOMER Pro simulates the operation of a hybrid microgrid or
distributed energy system for an entire year, evaluating and optimizing the electrical
system design, load profiles, components, fuel costs, and environmental variables. The
simulation produces key information on technical performance, risk-mitigation, and
projected cost-savings to inform system design and optimization. Results are presented
in a succinct Microgrid Proposal. For more information, visit HomerEnergy.com.

About HOMER Energy by UL

HOMER software is used by

more than 200,000 users in
193 different countries.

HOMER Energy by UL is the developer and distributor of HOMER software, a global

standard for energy modeling tools that analyze solar-plus-storage, microgrids, and other
distributed energy projects.

HOMER software helps engineers and project developers navigate the complexities of
designing cost-effective and reliable microgrids that combine traditional and renewable
generation sources. The company makes two software platforms: HOMER Pro for the
design of least-cost hybrid microgrid or distributed energy systems for use off-grid or
when tied to an unreliable grid; and HOMER Grid, which helps design behind-the-meter
solar-plus-storage systems to reduce costs and lower carbon footprints.

Since its founding in Boulder, Colorado in 2009, HOMER Energy software has proven
effective for analyzing complex distributed energy systems, including grid-tied hybrid
renewable microgrids and situations where the grid is insufficiently reliable, such as
islands and remote communities. In 2019, HOMER Energy was acquired by UL. More
than 200,000 HOMER Pro users in over 190 countries have produced economic
feasibility studies, system design, engineering insight, and energy cost savings. Learn
