HOMER Energy LLC software

The HOMER Pro^® microgrid software by UL Solutions is the global standard for optimizing microgrid design in all sectors, from village power and island utilities to grid-connected campuses and military bases. Originally developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and enhanced and distributed by UL Solutions, HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple Energy Resources) nests three powerful tools in one software product, so that engineering and economics work side by side.

Rapidly optimize ROI, charge electric vehicles, cut carbon and make smarter development decisions. Robust and easy-to-use, HOMER® Grid combines economics, engineering and multiple value streams in one model, then rapidly performs complex calculations to find the least-cost solution. You can save time and improve accuracy in early-stage feasibility analysis, compare design outcomes and demonstrate the value of on-site generation and storage to support electric vehicle (EV) charging, carbon reduction and resilience.

HOMER QuickStart, introduced in 2017, is an easy to use microgrid and distributed generation optimization software. HOMER QuickStart was designed to help you: Understand HOMER, Understand how hybrid power systems work to meet the electric load requirements for a location, Understand the tradeoffs in making different design decisions, Quickly compare system possibilities.
