To calculate the carbon dioxide savings we multiply the Solar Power with the CO2 equivalent of the fuel we would have produced it with. The calculated CO2 savings are available at the output “CO2_Savings”.
The CO2 equivalent depends on the type of fuel used and can be adjusted with the parameter CO2-01.
