Hi Jason & Jay, You may try https://www.energytoolbase.com/
They have a modeling program that can be used to optimize solar in a TOU setting (all types of rate structures). They are linked up with a database that holds 15 minute metering data for certain participating utility customers so you can create super accurate load profiles for your clients. I am just getting familiar with this program so I don't have direct experience yet but its worth a giving the free trial a shot.
