all hourly data - but an error

Thank you!

One question, I entered the site's electricity purchase rate by first selecting the rate that was in the U.S. Utility rate database.. but it was wrong and did not include sales tax, so I edited the rates and the on and off-peak periods.  Do the steps you noted above, have SAM use those purchase rates?

Thank you!

Thanks Paul! 



But I am still not getting it.

So when the PV project puts power on to the grid, according to the utility's parallel generation tariff, that power is valued on a specific MISO node at its Day-Ahead Hourly Locational Marginal Price (LMP). So I entered the LMPs as the Net Billing Sell Rate.  Initially, I did not enter anything for the Net Billing Buy Rate.  

Instead, I updated the site's electric rate - in the grids provided -  for usage rates and demand charges. You can see this in the attached file.

That did not work, I believe because I did not enter Net Billing Buy Rates.

Sjanzou, had me make some changes/clicks, but I am not sure what really happened. You can see his message above.  I think it put all the Net Billing LMP Sell Rates into the Net Billing Buy Rate  - but I am really not sure.  

If I enter the site's electric rate as the Net Billing Buy Rate - than I miss the demand kW savings value.. as only kWh costs are included in the Buy Rate.
