As an installer, I want a tab for "Gas Bills & Consumption"
From client directly:
I lose credibility when I claim a 91% offset when if you do the math here it is 46%. I know the reason is that the software doesn't differentiate between gas and electricity so when I add a gas bill it treats it as kWh.
So we need to be able to show gas savings separately. How we've been doing this is for example, if gas is 150 and electricity is 150, the total is 300. So we add 300 as the total utility and we add a heat pump and set a energy savings of 50% for example which will eliminate the 150 gas portion of the 300 total bill and offset the rest with solar.
So I'm thinking another tab added here called "Gas Bills & Consumption"
You can add the gas as $ amount or cubic meters or something like that.
Then this section here:
Will only show the kWh consumption inputted in the electricity consumption section above and be accurate.
You could maybe have something beside to top image like this to show gas

Client states:
We want an additional savings box that works with the ROI report.
Things that solar graph is not able to calculate right now:
1. Natural gas savings- Solify installs heat pumps to heat the home white electricity instead of gas this cuts their gas bill by 70 % .
For residential clients this saves them about 1000-1500 per year on gas. ( it increases the hydro usage and we can account for that but CANNOT show the savings. )
Other heating sources include oil and propane with even more potential savings.

Add a seperate gas calculator. that would allow us to show natural gas savings when were combining other products that wouyld save them money on gas aswell !
