Financial Modeling of Solar PV

Reductions(CERs)
Energy Price :
Solar PV Plant under REC mechanism can earn its revenue from selling grey.
In the financial model it is assumed that grey component of energy sold to
State discomat MSEDCL.
Operation and Maintenance cost: One of the major benefit of Solar PV plant is
less O & M cost as compared to other renewable energy technologies.
Financing Assumptions: General financial assumptions for a project in India
as follows
Financial Structure: Equity 30 % and debt 70 % as assumed in MERC tariff
order.
Debt repayment is taken over as 10 years. Interest rate on term loan and work
capital is taken as 12.87% and 13.37% respectively.
Floating solar PV Indian Context
