Cost Benefit Analysis for energy savings and renewables

Efficiency upgrades on a house or commercial building, or adding renewable energy generation, typically involve a substantial upfront expense, which leads to savings and/or revenues over many years. We provide a self-service analysis tool to help you understand what various potential projects could mean for you and your finances.

You can see the key financial metrics across your potential projects, over your preferred number of years.

• Annual and cumulative cashflows, payback period

• NPV = Net Present Value, using your preferred Discount Rate

• IRR = Internal Rate of Return

• Note: we offer a free course explaining these analysis techniques: look for the ‘Project Finance Introduction’ course under ‘Platform / Account’

Our initial analysis models cover Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels, at either residential or commercial scale

• Solar PV installation and operating costs

  • Financing via Equity (own funds) and/or debt

  • Operations and maintenance

  • Periodic replacement of the Inverter components

  • Taxes due on electricity sold

• Solar PV savings on your electricity bills, by consuming your own carbon-free electricity

• Solar PV revenues through selling electricity to the grid

More models are coming soon, including: insulation, boiler efficiency, air conditioning efficiency, buildings management systems.
