This section briefly describes the features on the Results page to help you get started using it. For detailed instructions on working with graphs and tables on the Results page, see Viewing Graphs and Results.
Note. In some cases, Solar Advisor displays graphs and tables for the "base case." In the context of displaying results, the "base case" is the set of results for the current case calculated from only values from the input pages and ignoring any results from additional simulations for parametric, sensitivity, or other simulation configurations that involve sets of multiple inputs.
Results Page Overview
After running simulations, Solar Advisor displays key metrics and a set of default graphs on the Results page:
| • | Review economic and performance metrics in the Metrics table. |
| • | Control the appearance of graphs and data tables using the tabs and buttons under the graph. |
| • | Click Configure Sliders to set up and display sliders that allow you to dynamically change the value of an input variable and observe the effects on tables and graphs. |
| • | Click Display Results to switch from viewing an input page to viewing results. Note that Solar Advisor will display results without running simulations whether or not any input values have changed since it last generated results. |
| • | Click Export and View Data to export data in different formats and view hourly performance data. |
Results Page Quick Guide
The graph lists and results tabs allow you to determine how data are displayed on the Results page:
| • | By default, Solar Advisor displays a set of graphs on the Results page. Choose graphs in the four graph lists at the bottom right of the page to control which graphs appear on the Results page. To display fewer than four graphs, choose None for up to three graphs in the list. |
| • | Right-click a graph to change its properties or export either an image of the graph or the graph data. |
| • | Click the Data Table tab to display the data for all graphs visible on the Results page. Click and drag the border above the tabs to expand the table. |
| • | Click the Base Case Cashflow tab to display the cash flow for the current case. |
