- LP €/yr
- Honest year-1 savings from our linear-program oracle (perfect 24h foresight).
- LP yr
- Years until cumulative savings (with the chosen inflation rate) recoup the battery cost.
- 10-yr net
- Total profit over 10 years: cumulative savings (compounded by inflation) minus the battery cost. Red = doesn't break even within 10 yr.
- kWh capt
- kWh of available solar surplus the battery actually absorbed over the year.
- % capt
- That, as a percentage of the scenario's total surplus (shown in the heading).
- % full
- Of all surplus hours, the % when the battery was already full and couldn't store more — capacity-bottlenecked.
- % sat
- Of all surplus hours, the % when charging was pegged at max kW and couldn't keep up — power-bottlenecked.
