A look at approximations of the rate of return of a PV power plant and thus of the LCOE
For a layman, there is a light intensity/solar irradiation that provides a quantity of energy. There is a production figure depending on the panels.
In order to establish this figure, there must be a simplification of the data, schematisation of the production, approximation of the calculations. Why is this? Because we don't know enough about the different factors that influence production. However, the rate of return of a plant is essential to determine the economic and financial viability of a PV installation. So how do you do it? This article discusses the different components of establishing a rate of return and the difficulties of arriving at an "exact figure".
