Financial/Production Modeling

For a long time the industry spoke in terms of $ per kW installed, the more relevant questions today are how much real estate do we have to work with and how many kWh per kW installed can we make a reality. Specific incentive schemes paired with different system efficiencies are taken into consideration. This, combined with rate schedules and tiered rate/TOU concepts and PPA specifics yield accurate production and financial return modelings beyond the scope of programs like PVwatts.
