Complete course on developing a Solar Power Project + Model

Explore rooftop solar in India, including net metering and gross metering, on grid and off grid systems, and capex versus opex models shaping policy and deployment.

Explore major solar panel types, including mono crystalline, polycrystalline, shingled and half-cut modules, and thin-film options, with notes on efficiency, cost, space, and suitability for different projects.

Explore the key components and types of PPAs for solar projects. Understand long-, medium-, and short-term structures, tariffs, metering, payment security, and future concepts like virtual PPAs and contract-for-difference.

Understand how a ground-mounted solar project earns revenue under a PPA and models cash flows with kilowatt-hours, capacity utilization, and an Excel-based cost and returns analysis.

The lecture guides building a basic solar project financial model for a 1 MW site, covering land, connectivity, finance, construction, PPA terms, and lending-focused debt-equity structure.

Calculate the solar project's 25-year revenue by converting 1 MW at 20% load factor into annual megawatt hours and units, applying tariff, and adjusting for depreciation and degradation.

Explore major solar project costs, including land cost, EBC cost, module price, structures, and transmission line cost. Review financing essentials—debt, equity, contingencies, and financing costs—and assess payback over project life.

Construct a solar power project financial model with debt, equity, returns, DCR, and construction costs, showing how land cost and transmission line cost influence profitability.

Differentiate between MWp, MW, and megawatt hour to understand solar project sizing. Explain how real-world irradiance, lab conditions, and a 18–20% capacity utilization shape annual energy output.
