Evaluation
Likely increase in performance of your cable compared to a cable with the least favourable choices for all the parameters. Performance is an indicator of both qualitative aspects such as reliability and quantitative aspects such as generation.
The benchmark generation is the generation of the solar cable with the least favourable choices for all the parameters.
The benchmark cost is the cost of the solar cable with the least favourable choices for all the parameters.
