# Cost Configuration Test

## Purpose of This Page <a href="#purpose-of-this-page" id="purpose-of-this-page"></a>

This page helps you validate that the pricing logic configured in **Cost Configuration** produces the expected results.

It allows you to simulate various project scenarios using different system parameters and review the calculated project cost before the AI Sales Assistant uses these rules during feasibility analysis.

Testing your configuration before deployment helps identify pricing or calculation issues early and ensures consistent proposal results.

## What You Can Do Here <a href="#what-you-can-do-here" id="what-you-can-do-here"></a>

Using this page, you can:

* Simulate projects with different DC system sizes and DC/AC ratios.
* Test both battery and non-battery scenarios.
* Review calculated material quantities and project costs.
* Verify profit margin, VAT, and final project pricing.
* Compare different project configurations before publishing pricing changes.

## How It Works <a href="#how-it-works" id="how-it-works"></a>

The Cost Configuration Test uses the active pricing rules defined on the **Cost Configuration** page.

To run a simulation:

1. Enter the desired **DC System size (kWp)**.
2. Specify the **DC/AC Ratio**.

{% hint style="info" %}
In the project, the DC/AC ratio is calculated automatically by dividing the total panel power (DC) by the total inverter power (AC).
{% endhint %}

1. Enable **Battery** if the project includes battery storage.
2. Enter the battery capacity when battery support is enabled.
3. Click **Apply** to generate the calculation.
4. Review the calculated material quantities, pricing details, and financial totals.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The calculation always uses the currently active Cost Configuration. Any changes made to pricing rules are reflected in the next test after saving the configuration.
{% endhint %}

## Understanding the Test Parameters <a href="#understanding-the-test-parameters" id="understanding-the-test-parameters"></a>

### DC Power (kWp) <a href="#dc-power-kwp" id="dc-power-kwp"></a>

Defines the total DC system size used for the simulation.

Many quantity-based cost rules calculate required materials according to this value.

{% hint style="info" %}
Panel quantity is calculated automatically according to:

> DC System Size ÷ Selected Panel Power

The result is rounded to the nearest whole number
{% endhint %}

### DC/AC Ratio <a href="#dc-ac-ratio" id="dc-ac-ratio"></a>

Determines the relationship between DC panel capacity and AC inverter capacity.

This value directly affects inverter sizing and any cost items that depend on inverter capacity.

{% hint style="info" %}
DC/AC Ratio is calculated by dividing total installed panel power (DC power) by total inverter power (AC power).
{% endhint %}

### Battery Simulation (if applicable) <a href="#battery-simulation-if-applicable" id="battery-simulation-if-applicable"></a>

When enabled, the system includes battery cost items based on the configured pricing rules.

During the simulation, once the required storage capacity is specified, the system automatically calculates the required battery quantity and uses this value to determine all battery-related cost items.

## Understanding the Results <a href="#understanding-the-results" id="understanding-the-results"></a>

After the calculation is completed, the page displays the simulated project cost breakdown.

The results include:

* Calculated material quantities
* Unit and total costs for each item
* Profit margin and VAT
* Final simulated project cost
* Calculated the **final total price**

All values are calculated instantly and displayed in the **Items Table** and **Financial Summary** section.

## Summary <a href="#summary" id="summary"></a>

Cost Configuration Test provides a safe environment to validate the pricing configuration.

By testing different system sizes, DC/AC ratios, and battery scenarios, you can verify calculated material quantities, project costs, profit margins, and VAT values before publishing your configuration.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solarvis.co/solarvis-modules/ai-sales-assistant/cost-configuration-test.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
