Generation

Plan solar production by month, not one annual sun number

Use a location-aware production model for early planning, then treat its monthly result as a range. Roof angle, shade, dirt, temperature, parking direction, and weather all affect the actual harvest.

Use location data transparently

Show the climate data source, station distance, model version, orientation, tilt, and loss assumptions alongside every estimate.

Design for the limiting period

For a mobile or seasonal setup, the critical period is the trip or month when load is highest relative to expected generation, not the annual average.

Keep a backup decision explicit

If the plan depends on alternator charging, shore power, or a generator, show that dependency clearly instead of describing the system as solar-only.
