Engineering Standards v4.2

The Physics of
Independence.

"OffgridMath was founded on a singular premise: that true freedom requires absolute technical certainty. We don't build calculators; we build financial engineering models."

Our Engineering Philosophy

In the rapidly evolving world of renewable energy, most "calculators" are marketing tools designed by lead-generation companies. They simplify complex technical variables to provide a "best-case scenario" that often collapses under real-world conditions.

1. The Anti-Simplified Approach

At OffgridMath, we reject the simplified model. Our **Engineering Model v4.2** accounts for the multi-variate physics that actually drive ROI: module temperature coefficients, DC/AC clipping losses, voltage drop, and annual Light-Induced Degradation (LID). We believe that being "off-grid" means you cannot afford for your math to be wrong.

2. Institutional Data Standards

We do not use anecdotal evidence. Our models are mapped against the **National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)** P50 generation datasets and the **Department of Energy (DOE)** solar cost projections. When we estimate utility inflation, we use 20 years of historical **Producer Price Index (PPI)** data to ensure our long-term projections are grounded in macroeconomic reality.

The "Authority" Commitment

"Our goal is not to sell you solar panels. Our goal is to provide the same level of financial modeling to a van-lifer in Arizona that a utility company uses to evaluate a 100MW solar farm."

3. Radical Transparency

OffgridMath is an independent data resource. We are not owned by a solar installer or a financial institution. Our code is built to be unbiased, accounting for **Maintenance OpEx** and **Inverter Replacement Costs** that marketing calculators conveniently ignore. We provide the "Executive Risk Assessment" because energy independence is an investment, and every investment has risks.
