Viability Analysis: Beyond gross revenue
Unlike simplified calculators, our tool considers critical variables affecting project LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) and EBITDA. To get a real picture of return on investment (ROI), it's essential to discount operating costs (OPEX), annual module degradation (~0.4-0.6%) and inflation.
The Cannibalization Challenge
In saturated markets, solar capture price is usually lower than average market price. Ignoring this "capture rate factor" can overestimate revenue by 20-30%. Our calculator allows adjusting this factor for stress scenarios.
The Storage Opportunity (BESS)
BESS systems transform project economics through energy arbitrage. Storing surpluses and avoiding curtailment not only recovers lost energy, but allows selling it during peak hours, improving project IRR.
