base (ETB), with graphics. ETB is the analytical platform they use for commercial projects to spit out real IRS.
Their internal process with ETB consists of taking the production information that they get out from Enphase, the cost, and a 15-minute interval data from the utility. They put that into Energy tool base, and it generates a report.
Solargraf currently does not support 15 min interval data and this means it is not accurate for Commercial proposals.

PGE Agricultural Tariffs and Rates:
Big fan of the software, just wondering if you guys have any plans on adding support for Ag Tariffs and Rates into Solargraf or if that's going to be something I model out and profile myself.It'd be useful to at least have at least a few generic AG profile to model out average demand charges for the customer. We've been trying to go after this type of contract, but we have a lot of problems with ranchers who don't have reliable internet access or are not computer savvy enough to get us all the Green Button data from their accounts.
I've been trying to get a way to reverse engineer their demand charges based on usage and totaled billed, but that's left me with a linear three variable equation that isn't really helpful until I get more data points to go off of.
