Lecture 2 – ROI Analysis for Solar PV System

Описание: In this lecture, we explore how to evaluate the return on investment (ROI) for solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, from small-scale installations to utility-scale plants. Learn how to calculate financial returns, assess payback periods, factor in performance degradation, and apply real-world case studies. This session also highlights how global leaders like the Amazon Sustainability team implement solar projects to meet decarbonization goals.

What You’ll Learn:

Core financial metrics for solar PV (ROI, NPV, IRR)

Understanding simple payback period vs. discounted payback

Considering capacity factor, degradation rates, and O&M costs

Case studies from commercial and utility-scale solar projects

Insights from Amazon’s renewable energy strategy

Perfect for: Sustainability practitioners, project managers, renewable energy developers, engineers, and anyone interested in solar PV economics.
