However, the construction of a photovoltaic system comes at a
relevant cost which must be compared with future revenues to be able
to evaluate the cost-effectiveness.
BlueSol provides the tools to be able to analyze the advantages of
the realization of the photovoltaic system, evaluating costs of
realization and management and simulating the profitability during
the assessment period, considering variable aspects as the falling of
the annual production, the cost impact of financing, the changes in
energy costs due to inflation.
The economic evaluation involves a lot of data to be processed, concerning:
Costs: Specifies the costs of realization of
the PV system in addition to periodic and the maintenance
Financing: Sets the details of a possible
partial or total financing of the realization of the system
Energy consumption: Estimates
the consumption and the self-consumption of system
Incentives: Incentives, on the energy
produced, that may be available in the country in which it operates
the system
Taxes: Defines the fees charged to earnings
procured by the photovoltaic
Table: Detailed table of
profitability, for each year during the assessment period of the system
The Profitability page
summarizes the main results of the economic analysis. More details
can be found in the pages Table
and Charts, where it is
presented a detailed table for years and the graphs of the trend of
economic parameters over time. Tables and graphs can then be exported
in XLS format and as images.
Please note that all amounts included in the economic analysis should
be entered either with or without sales tax. As a rule, all amounts
should be entered as net sums. However, if you enter a gross amount,
you should make sure that all entries are gross.
