Every solar conversation starts with a power bill, and most start by guessing at it. Upload the PDF — or let the homeowner photograph theirs — and the real figures come off the page: what they used, what they exported, what the credit was worth, and what a kilowatt-hour actually costs them all in.
That is the instruction the reader works under, in those words. Anything the bill does not state comes back empty rather than filled in with a plausible number — because a plausible number is the one that does not survive the homeowner reading their next statement.
Total charges divided by kilowatt-hours delivered. That is why it needs no rate table for your utility: the bill already contains the answer, and every dollar of the recommendation is computed on your side, not the model's.
A usage chart labelled “average daily kWh” read as monthly totals understates the year by roughly thirty times. The unit is taken from the chart's own axis label and, if it is neither daily nor monthly, the whole series is dropped rather than let through.
Surplus export credit is banked on its own line instead of pushing the bill below the fixed service charge. Nobody's utility sends them a cheque, and a proposal that implies one gets found out.
High, medium or low, derived from what it actually found. Hand-edit a figure afterwards and the confidence drops a notch, with a note to verify against the bill before you present it.
A scanned PDF with no text layer says so and offers the fields by hand. And if there is no bill at all, it can start from the published tariff for the address instead.
