The design and simulation of a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system with battery

Dear all,

I'd like to ask how can I use SAM to design and simulate the Energy Yield of a stand-alone PV system with a battery as well as the economic analysis (LCOE, etc. ). Does any old or new version have this opportunity? 

It will be highly appreciated if anyone can response.  

Best regards, 

Abdulrahman 

Dear Abdulrahman,

SAM assumes the system is connected to the grid. You can design the system to minimize or avoid using the grid to approximate an off-grid system. Otherwise, you could use a model like HOMER to model off-grid systems.

Best regards,
