FOUNDER EDITION · USD 199
A professional model for solar investment decisions
Bring engineering, commercial, financing and tax assumptions into one auditable path—from project cash flow to equity returns, debt coverage, scenario risk and decision status.
FOUNDER EDITION
USD 199- One named-user commercial licence
- Professional financial model
- Standalone 10MW demo walkthrough
- Project-use outputs may be shared
WHO IT IS FOR
Designed for people who must explain the decision—not just calculate it
Solar EPC Companies
Repeatable commercial proposals with clear project economics and financing feasibility.
Renewable Energy Consultants
Auditable, consistent analysis across multiple client engagements.
Investors & Analysts
Secondary users reviewing returns, coverage, downside risk and decision assumptions.
WHAT IT MODELS
A controlled project lifecycle
The Founder Edition follows a monthly, COD-driven timeline through construction and operation. Assumptions feed downstream schedules instead of being repeatedly re-entered.
01
Project setup & monthly timeline
02
CAPEX, investment schedule & construction interest
03
Generation, revenue & OPEX projections
04
Asset register, depreciation & documented tax modes
05
Debt/equity funding & equal-principal debt schedule
06
Project, equity & financial-plan cash flow views
INVESTMENT METRICS
The metrics decision-makers expect—kept in the right view
Project IRR
Evaluate unlevered project returns without mixing financing effects into the project view.
Equity IRR
Measure investor returns after financing contributions, debt service and distributions.
NPV
Assess discounted project value using an explicit valuation date and discount-rate assumption.
Payback
Track the time required for cumulative cash flow to recover the initial investment.
LCOE
Compare lifecycle energy cost with the electricity-value assumptions used in the case.
DSCR / ICR
Test debt-service and interest coverage before relying on headline return metrics.
RISK ANALYTICS
Find the financing problem behind the return
The model links return analysis to debt-service coverage, interest coverage, liquidity and funding-gap checks. A high Equity IRR does not automatically mean a financeable project.
DSCR
Minimum and average debt-service coverage.
ICR
Operating cash coverage of financing interest.
GAP
Visibility into funding and liquidity shortfalls.
STATUS
PASS, WARNING or FINANCING RISK.

- Required electricity price
- Maximum debt ratio for target DSCR
10MW DEMO
See the model’s decision language in a concrete case
The standalone walkthrough uses only the published illustrative values and explicitly separates itself from the live audited 5MW regression case.
15-MINUTE WORKFLOW DEMO
Want to evaluate your own project?
Walk through assumptions, project and equity returns, debt coverage, sensitivity and decision status in one focused session.
Scope: The model does not replace PV production software, engineering design, lender due diligence, legal review, tax advice or investment advice. Storage dispatch, hourly load simulation and custom debt sculpting are outside the Founder Edition scope.
