How to evaluate the return on investment of a home photovoltaic system?
Evaluating the return on investment of a home PV system involves several key steps and calculation methods, and the following are some of the main evaluation steps and calculation formulas:
Collect basic information and financial parameters
Before performing an economic analysis, you need to prepare the following information:
Project location: Affects the amount of solar radiation and sunshine time.
System scale: Installed capacity of photovoltaic panels.
Design scheme: including the layout of photovoltaic panels, configuration of energy storage system, etc.
Investment cost: including equipment cost, installation cost, land cost, etc.
Operation and maintenance costs: regular maintenance, component cleaning, replacement parts, etc.
Electricity price: The local electricity price, which can be a fixed price or a dynamic price (such as time-of-use price).
System performance data: annual energy output, system loss and other data obtained through software simulation.
Calculate Return on Investment (ROI)
Return on investment (ROI) is an important indicator to measure the economic benefits of a project. The formula is as follows:
ROA=[(Investment return - investment cost)÷investment cost]×100%
Among them, the investment income is the power generation income of the distributed photovoltaic system, and the investment cost includes the installation, operation and maintenance of the system, and other expenses.
Calculate Net Present Value (NPV)
Net present value (NPV) reflects the net benefit of the project after taking into account the time value and is calculated by:
Where C t is the net cash flow in year t, r is the discount rate, and n is the life cycle of the project.
Calculate Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
The internal rate of return (IRR) represents the expected rate of return of a project and is the discount rate that brings the net present value (NPV) of the project to zero. PVsyst software can automatically calculate the IRR of a project, indicating the attractiveness of the project.
Sensitivity analysis
Use PVsyst's sensitivity analysis tool to assess the impact of changes in different parameters (such as electricity prices, discount rates, investment costs, etc.) on project economics to help identify key parameters and develop appropriate optimization strategies.
Actual data monitoring and dynamic adjustment
Actual power generation, maintenance costs and revenue are continuously monitored during project operation. Using PVsyst monitoring data interface, the actual data and simulation results are compared and analyzed, and the project operation strategy and maintenance plan are dynamically adjusted.
Through the above steps and calculation methods, we can comprehensively evaluate the economic benefits of home photovoltaic system investment, and provide a scientific basis for investment decisions.
