Solar Financing Payback Calculator
Solar Financing Payback: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers system cost (currency). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Solar Financing Payback Calculator is a planned calculator in the finance section of Super Calculator, covering other lending.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: system cost (currency), tax credit (%), rebates (currency), annual production (kWh), electricity rate (currency per kWh), escalation (%), loan terms and degradation (%).
Outputs: payback period (years), net present value per financing option (currency), lifetime savings (currency) and effective cost per kWh (currency).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Compares cash purchase, a solar loan, a lease and a power purchase agreement on net present value: system cost less tax credits and rebates, against avoided electricity cost escalating at an assumed rate, over the system life, with degradation applied to output.
