For accurate calculation, if solar array is effected by Shading from trees, buildings or terrain, reduce the hours of Harvesting.
Total Solar Energy Generated:
MW/p energy per Day.
kWh/p energy per Day.
Solar Array Size
per Hour/peak
Energy Harvested
per Day/peak
per Week/peak
per Month/peak
per Quarter/peak
per Year/peak
Above Fields indicate peak Energy production, other transmission losses reduce these results.

4) SOLAR FARM - Potential Payback time;
The Solar Farm's Total Upfront Investment Cost:
$ Enter Solar Farm Total Cost. (*LOC: $1'700'000MW)
Approx. Yearly LGC:
$ Calculated on Large-scale Generation Certificate Rate set above.
Approx. Yearly Spot Market Income:
$ Calculated on the Electricity Spot Market Price set above.
Years to Break-Even Period:
Years Based on figures entered above.
Solar Farm Investment Expense:
$per kWh =Total Cost ÷ by system kWh.
Solar Levelised Cost of Energy LCOE:
$per kWh LCOE =Total System Cost ÷ 25 year energy Generation.
LCOE is calculated on the system's total out of pocket Cost inc. O&M ÷ 25 years kWh Generation. (25 years assumed lifetime)
Change any of the above RED Fields to see the Investment Payback Time!
Important: *Please note that all amounts and estimates shown above can be set to suit multiple configurations, and are used for symbolic estimation purpose only. The actual figure depends on lots of issues including quantity of sun (cloud coverage), single or dual axis tracking, cabling (DC/AC), electrical connections and electronic losses etc. These amounts and figures should be considered as example only, and under whatever circumstances, we do not make any guarantee, or cannot be held responsible about these estimates, if used as an actual return on investment!
