HOMER Grid - Modeling Software
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.
With one powerful model you can:
- Forecast and optimize return on investment (ROI).
- Maximize EV charging revenue and energy savings.
- Minimize cost.
- Increase resilience.
- Reduce carbon emissions.
- Explore combined heat and power.
- Reduce uncertainty, speed decision-making and win sales.
HOMER Grid’s robust EV charging analytics and revenue calculator enables you to reduce the time and uncertainty of evaluating the ROI of a proposed charging station, forecast revenue, maximize project value and demonstrate that value to your customer in minutes. You can quickly and confidently:
- Size and optimize charging stations, whether grid-connected or powered by a microgrid or distributed energy.
- Optimize on-demand and deferrable EV charging strategies.
- Compare multiple locations and system configurations to find the most profitable solution and site.
- Gain control over demand charges and time of use rates
- Determine, maximize and demonstrate the value of on-site generation and storage.
- Use modeling results to speed the permitting process, reduce the time from quote to construction and mitigate project risk.
