AER planning tool

A better place to start an energy-system conversation.

The Energy Planner is a separate interactive planning experience for organizing early questions about usage, loads, storage, power, solar production, and backup duration.

What the Planner helps surface

System decisions become clearer when the inputs are visible.

The Planner framework is a structured first pass. Results should be treated as preliminary planning inputs that may change after detailed usage review, site evaluation, engineering, permitting, equipment selection, utility requirements, and contractual proposal development.

Discuss your property with AER
01

Energy usage

A starting view of how much electricity a property uses over time.

02

Critical loads

The circuits, equipment, and operating priorities that matter when power is unavailable.

03

Battery & inverter needs

A way to distinguish stored energy, delivered power, and challenging start-up demand.

04

Solar production

Production assumptions as part of a wider site-specific planning conversation.

05

Backup duration

A framework for discussing runtime goals, not a promise of how long backup will last.

Important boundary

Planning is valuable precisely because it makes uncertainty visible.

The Planner can help frame questions and scenarios. It does not replace electrical engineering, site evaluation, permitting, utility approval, equipment specifications, or final installed pricing.

01

Describe the property

Begin with the loads, backup goals, and operating priorities you understand today.

02

Keep the questions

Use the inputs to identify what needs clarification rather than as a final answer.

03

Plan the next conversation

Bring those inputs to an AER project review for a property-specific discussion.
