Description

All calculations are currently done here: https://github.com/cirillojon/Andromeda/blob/version/1.0.0/frontend/src/components/Onboarding/Form/SolarCalculations.ts

one question I have: given a hardcoded energyCostPerKwh // and assuming the formula for monthlyKwhEnergyConsumption is monthlyAverageEnergyBill / energyCostPerKwh // given that the user inputs their monthly bill, we already have the info we need right? can we remove this from the form and get the value for solar_electric_bill_kwh from the solarCalculation function?

I am sure other formulas need to be adjusted as well.

I used this as reference: https://github.com/googlemaps-samples/js-solar-potential/blob/main/src/routes/sections/SolarPotentialSection.svelte

(this is where the calculations are made for the google solar api demo)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Compare the current solar calculations in SolarCalculations.ts with the reference Google Maps Solar Potential demo. Identify discrepancies and adjust formulas. Evaluate if monthlyAverageEnergyBill input can replace manual kWh input.
