01 · PROJECT OVERVIEW

A standalone 10MW commercial example

The page presents the published demo assumptions. It does not recalculate values in the browser and is not connected to the model’s live Dashboard.

Project10MW C&I Solar Demo
Capacity10 MW
Construction period6 months
COD2027-01-01
Operating period25 years
Annual generation12,500 MWh

02 · TECHNICAL ASSUMPTIONS

Finance starts with a qualified production estimate

The model converts production inputs into financial outputs; it does not replace engineering design or production-simulation software.

  • 01

    Annual generation equals 1,250 kWh/kW of installed capacity.

  • 02

    Full operation begins in the month-start COD month.

  • 03

    The demo excludes hourly load, weather, shading and detailed production simulation.

  • 04

    Real projects require a qualified estimate and documented loss assumptions.

06 · RISK ANALYSIS

Why the case is financing-sensitive

The demo produces positive economic returns, but the minimum DSCR margin is narrow enough that small assumption changes may alter the financing conclusion.

DEBT SERVICE

Only 0.01x headroom

A revenue shortfall, CAPEX increase or interest-rate increase may breach the illustrative 1.30x threshold.

REVENUE

Narrow price-to-LCOE spread

The USD 0.1000/kWh electricity value is only USD 0.009/kWh above the illustrative LCOE.

PRODUCTION

Qualified estimate required

The 12,500 MWh annual generation input must be replaced with a project-specific production estimate.

COST & TAX

Evidence before decision

CAPEX, OPEX, lease, reserves and country-specific tax treatment require current professional evidence.

07 · SCENARIO COMPARISON

Scenario principles—without fabricated outputs

The standalone 10MW case does not calculate a connected scenario table. Formal results must be generated only after its assumptions are entered into the live model.

BASEQualified generation, contracted price and current cost estimates
UPSIDELower CAPEX and/or higher realised electricity value
DOWNSIDEHigher CAPEX, lower generation/price and higher financing cost

Case integrity: The 10MW page is a standalone walkthrough. The live Dashboard remains connected to a separate audited 5MW financing-risk regression case. No investment decision should rely on these illustrative values.
