Platform / Vertical 03

Residential.

Homes, estates and apartment blocks. Rooftop PV, behind-the-meter storage and a tariff structure that decides most of the economics.

What makes this load different

Residential load is small, spiky and highly diverse — which means the aggregate behaves nothing like the individual. The platform models both, because the right answer for one house and the right answer for two hundred are different systems.

  • Sharp evening peaks that set the storage size, while daily energy sets the PV size
  • Diversity between dwellings — the aggregate peak is far below the sum of individual peaks
  • Export limits and network hosting capacity that cap how much rooftop PV is useful
  • Time-of-use and feed-in tariffs that dominate the payback calculation
  • Shared infrastructure in apartment blocks: common-area load, embedded networks and metering arrangements
  • Backup expectations — how much of the house should stay alive, and for how long

Live

One house, right now

A 10 kW rooftop array and a 13.5 kWh home battery on live Sydney weather, against a household load with its usual morning shoulder and sharp evening peak. Watch the battery carry the evening after the array has stopped producing.

Platform modules

How the engine is configured here

Resource acquisition
Site-specific hourly irradiance and temperature history, with rooftop orientation, tilt and shading applied per dwelling or per block.
Design & sizing
Rooftop PV capacity against available area and export limits, and storage sized against the evening peak rather than the daily energy.
Digital twin
Load diversity modelled across dwellings, storage dispatched against a time-of-use or demand tariff, self-consumption and export tracked separately.
Feasibility
Payback and lifetime saving per dwelling and for the aggregate, with degradation and replacement included.
Data export
Per-dwelling and aggregate dispatch series, and summary reports suitable for owners, strata committees or developers.
Design basis

Standards and criteria applied

  • Wiring rules for domestic and residential electrical installations
  • PV array installation and DC-side safety
  • Grid connection of inverter energy systems, including export limitation and inverter settings
  • Battery energy storage installation, siting and safety separation for domestic premises
  • Metering and embedded-network arrangements where a block is served collectively

The applicable set is confirmed at kick-off and depends on jurisdiction, connection point and the reliability target agreed with you.
