Determine the number of solar panels you could install and the potential power output
Panel Specifications
Panels: Solarworld 320W
DC output needs to be derated. Use the following site http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/calculators/pvwatts/version1/derate.cgi
Take into account the following
SRECs for Massachusetts
Subsidies
5 year MACRS
Please prepare a spreadsheet for your solar project assuming 1MWdc operation. Assume 20 year life, 5 year MACRS depreciation schedule, $100 RECs, electricity sales of $0.05/KWh, 3% inflation, 0.5% annual loss in solar panel efficiency, annual operating costs of $50,000, and annual lease payments of $6,000 per acre
Set up a cash flow spreadsheet using the following parameters. Capital costs $2500/KW. 10% discount rate, 20 year life, capacity factor of 30% and O&M costs of $30/KW. No fuel costs and ignore taxes. Calculate what you will need to sell electricity for to obtain a zero NPV. What does a zero NPV mean and what happens at this point? How does this relate the levelized cost of energy?
