ILLUSTRATIVE SCREENING

Quantify recorded connection utilisation while keeping export rights, import rights and hypothetical strategies separate.

What this scenario establishes

This example does not establish a complete annual investment model. Required inputs remain visible in your workspace.

Amounts are in EUR. Export capacity is not evidence of an import right. Other routes are alternatives, not additive revenue promises.

Illustrative inputs

Synthetic 4 MWp plant: 16,000 modules × 250 Wp.
4,400 MWh/year generation and 8 ha site area are illustrative inputs.
No grid import agreement, customer contract or surveyed layout is supplied.

Three next steps

Confirm the connection agreement and operational restrictions.
Provide interval export and import data before claiming hourly headroom.
Discuss the proposed strategy with the network operator.

Use this example to see the decision process. Your own result depends on your plant, assumptions and evidence; it is not a financing approval.

Rights and signals

Separate contracted rights from public capacity publications.

What-if strategies

Model an informal proposal without presenting it as authorised.

Connection use

Identify the evidence needed for a network discussion.

Calculation basis and frozen source

Generated offline with PV8 engine code. No customer information or live provider response is included. Raw reference inputs retain their source currencies, such as USD mining assumptions; financial figures above use EUR. Rebuild recipe: scripts/build_public_sample_snapshots.py.
