(with advanced battery degradation and hydrogen options) tells a different story. The model accounts for warm ambient temperatures (30°C) accelerating calendar aging. The battery lifetime drops to 7 years in the simulation. Consequently, the optimal system shifts to 300 kW PV + 400 kWh battery + a 30 kW electrolyzer + 200 kg hydrogen tank + 50 kW fuel cell. LCOE rises to $0.29/kWh, but the hydrogen system offers 20-year stability and no diesel logistics.
Use the integrated GIS mapping tool to pinpoint your project coordinates. HOMER Pro automatically downloads solar and wind resource data from NASA and NREL databases.
The optimizer sizing for hydrogen loads now mirrors the logic used for electric loads, ensuring consistent results for green hydrogen projects.

HOMER Pro 3.15 offers several licensing paths to accommodate different user needs. Pricing is based on license length, selected modules, and package type, with discounts available for multiple licenses and verified academic users.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV), Wind Turbines, Run-of-River Hydroelectric, Biomass, Reformers, and Conventional Diesel/Gasoline Generators.
Developing reliable, cost-effective hybrid energy systems requires balancing complex engineering with volatile economics. Energy engineers, researchers, and project developers rely on (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables) to handle these challenges. Consequently, the optimal system shifts to 300 kW
: At its core, HOMER is a powerful simulation engine. It models the operation of a proposed hybrid microgrid for a full year, with time steps ranging from one minute to one hour. For each interval, it performs energy balance calculations, comparing the electrical and thermal demand against the supply from various components like solar PV, wind turbines, generators, and batteries. It also decides when to charge or discharge batteries and how to dispatch generators to maintain stability.
Distributed energy systems require precise planning to balance cost, reliability, and sustainability. HOMER Pro 3.15 stands as the industry-standard software for designing standalone and grid-connected microgrids. Originally developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and now managed by UL Solutions, this software empowers engineers, researchers, and project developers to optimize hybrid renewable energy systems.
Designing off-grid systems to displace expensive, polluting diesel fuel with solar and battery storage. HOMER Pro automatically downloads solar and wind resource
UL Solutions offers several licensing tiers for HOMER Pro:
These three pillars are:
HOMER models the performance of a specific microgrid configuration every hour (or down to 1-minute intervals) for a full year. It matches hourly energy demand to the available energy supply, calculating the energy flow to and from each component. 2. Optimization
