Load analysis, PV and Battery sizing was created by angeloazola@gmail.com
I want to perform Load analysis, PV and Battery sizing in SAM with my battery being able to supply 95% of the energy required with your system. In my load profile I only know my kWh/day, kWh/year, load kW/day and I need to size my with a DC/AC ratio of unity. How to size my PV and the battery in SAM. Please advise and guide.

Hello,
SAM requires hourly (or sub-hourly) time series data describing the building's electricity consumption. If you only have kWh/day, kWh/year, and kW/day data, you will need to choose time series data to define the load shape and adjust it using the scaling factors so that it approximately matches your data. For more on how to work with load data, see this webinar recording at about Minute 8
