What you'll build
What you will be able to do
Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.
- Size the Hollis Print Works rooftop system in kWp and estimate its first-year energy from irradiation and the performance ratio.
- Model how the Hollis system's output declines year by year, add up its 25-year energy and chart the curve.
- Value the Hollis system's first-year energy for four self-consumption shares and see why using solar on site beats exporting it.
- Work out how many years the Hollis system needs to earn back its cost, first the quick way, then with discounting.
- Calculate what each kWh from the Hollis system really costs over 25 years, by discounting both the costs and the energy.
- Finance 70 % of the Hollis system with a 10-year loan and measure the owner's NPV and IRR on the cash they put in.
- Estimate how many solar kWh three battery sizes shift from export into self-consumption and what that is worth per year.
- Build a two-way NPV table for the Hollis system with one formula and mixed references, then find where the project turns positive.
About this course
Solar quotes promise attractive returns, but the result depends on assumptions you can test yourself. This course shows how. You estimate annual energy from system size, specific yield and performance ratio, project degradation over twenty-five years and split output into self-consumed and exported power with their different values. Simple and discounted payback come next, followed by the levelised cost of energy. You evaluate a rooftop system financed with a loan by NPV and IRR, value a battery by the kilowatt-hours it shifts, and run a two-way sensitivity on electricity price and system cost. For homeowners, installers, energy consultants and engineering students who want a transparent model.
