The Challenge
The client received an offer to install a photovoltaic system at their main headquarters and needed to validate the economic viability before approving the investment. It was essential to: verify the consistency of technical assumptions (system size, annual production, degradation, maintenance), model the financial impact under different payment schemes (equity, bank loan, and leasing), and present clear indicators (IRR, NPV, payback) to facilitate the board's decision.
