Simulation of the use of a home battery

[Henko]

In the Netherlands, the vast majority of housholds have installed solar panels on the roof. Due to the fact that excessive electricity production of a household will stop generating benefits coming year, the installation of home batteries is now hot in the Netherlands.
The question is then what battery capacity should be chosen, and consequently wich type of technical implementation and the needed investment.

I am in the middle of that selection process. Used Excel as a tool, but switched to SB, providing a better “what-if” functionallity.
The simulation is on a daily basis.
The battery capacity (kWh) and the fraction of the panel production which is directly used by the houshold, may be manipulated by sliders.
The daily energy streams within the model are graphed and may be selected by switches. The financial components per kWh may be set by buttons.

The program is particular useful for the Dutch situation (i guess), and texts in the code are Dutch.
