Table of profitability

 

BlueSol generates a detailed table of all parameters of economic evaluation, detailed per year for the assessment period of the system:

  • Year: Year of PV system life

  • Energy production [kWh]: Energy production estimated by the program. Also matches the Energy fed to grid + Self-consumption

  • Energy fed to grid [kWh]: Energy produced by the system and fed into the grid because not consumed by users of the PV system.

  • Energy consumption [kWh]: Annual energy consumption, including any increases in consumption. Also matches Self-consumption + Energy taken from the grid

  • Self-consumption [kWh]: The amount of energy produced by the system and at the same time consumed by the users of system

  • Energy taken from the grid [kWh]: Energy consumed by the user and coming from the grid

  • Total revenue [currency]: [Revenu of feed-in tariff] + Revenue from energy sale or Revenue from net metering

  • Revenue of feed-in tariff on energy produced [currency]: Energy produced * Feed-in tariff for the produced energy

  • Revenue of feed-in tariff on energy fed into grid [currency]: Energy fed into grid * Feed-in tariff for energy fed to the grid

  • Revenue of feed-in tariff on energy self-consumed [currency]: Energy self-consumed * Feed-in tariff for self-consumed energy

  • Revenue from energy sale [currency]: Energy fed into grid * sale price

  • Revenue from net metering [currency]: Valorization of energy escanged into the grid

  • Energy purchase tariff [currency/ kWh]: Energy purchase tariff (see Average cost of electricity withdrawn in Energy consumption section) revalued annually by the Energy price inflation

  • Saving on energy bill [currency]: Savings due to non-purchase of energy. Calculated as Self-consumption * Energy purchase tariff

  • Maintenance costs [currency]: Cost of maintenance periodic and extraordinary

  • Financing [currency]: Amount of annual installment with financing. The amount is calculated by the program based on the capital to be financed. Also matches Loan capital amount + Loan interest amount

  • Loan capital amount [currency]: Principal portion of the installment loan

  • Loan interest amount [currency]: Interest portion of the installment loan

  • Gross profit [currency]: Total revenue + Saving on energy bill - Maintenance costs - Depreciation - Loan interest amount

  • Total tax [currency]: Taxable income * Tax rate for income (see Taxes)

  • Taxable income [currency]: Refers to the basis upon which an income tax system imposes the taxes, calculated for each year as Income subject to tax - Maintenance costs - Depreciation. Note that the program does not handle tax credits, so if Taxable income is negative then Total tax will be forced to zero.

  • Income subject to tax [currency]: Part of the Total revenue subject to tax

  • Depreciation [currency]: Depreciation of the system, calculated for each year as the Realization cost * System depreciation * Annual Depreciation (see Taxes)

  • Net profit [currency]: Gross profit - Total tax

  • Cash flow [currency]: Net profit + Depreciation - Loan capital amount

  • Cumulative cash flow [currency]: cash flow of year + cash flow of previous year. The first year is calculated as: cash flow of year - system cost + amount to be financed.

  • Net present value (NPV) [currency]: By calculating the NPV is established the convenience expected of investment, by discounting the future cash flows in order to detect the present value of the investment.
