Financial Modeling of 1MW Solar Captive Power Plant in Excel

Are you ready to master the financial modeling of solar projects under the Captive Power Plant model? This hands-on course is designed to give you complete clarity on the financial, technical, and business aspects of a 1MW Solar Captive Power Plant using Excel.

In today’s energy sector, captive solar projects are becoming a key strategy for industries and businesses seeking energy independence, cost savings, and sustainability. Understanding how to build a master financial model and perform sensitivity analysis will give you the edge to make data-driven decisions in real-world projects.

Through a step-by-step Excel-based approach, this course will teach you how to:

Formulate Initial Parameters for a 1MW solar project
Build Profit & Loss (P&L) Account Statements
Calculate Taxable Income and perform Tax Calculations
Perform Cash Flow Analysis to assess project health
Compute Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), and Payback Period
Estimate Cumulative Savings over a 25-year lifespan
Conduct Sensitivity Analysis on Feed-in Tariff for IRR, NPV, Payback, and Cumulative Savings

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently analyze and evaluate solar captive projects from a business, financial, and technical perspective.

Prerequisites

• Basic understanding of solar PV systems (preferred but not mandatory)

• Familiarity with Microsoft Excel or spreadsheets

• No prior finance background required – everything will be taught step-by-step
