Scenario table and method
Annual eligible use is monthly energy charges × 12 ÷ the entered rate. Equivalent system size is annual eligible use ÷ yield. Initial cost is system size × entered cost per watt × 1,000. Each year adds the assumed offset adjusted by the entered annual price change and degradation. Borrowed money, incentives, maintenance, replacement, financing, taxes and discounting are not included. This does not size a system for a specific roof.
