Project Economics Calculator

Model Your Renewable Energy Project Returns

We've launched a comprehensive Project Economics Calculator that lets you model the full financial picture of your clean energy investment — from EPC costs through 5-year cash flow projections.

What You Can Do

  • 8 project types supported — Solar PV, Battery Storage, Wind, Geothermal, Fuel Cell, CHP, Offshore Wind, and combined Solar + Battery
  • Full ITC configuration — Model your base ITC rate plus Domestic Content, Energy Community, and Low-Income Community bonus adders
  • Section 6418 credit transfer modeling — See exactly how selling your ITC to a third-party buyer affects your equity requirement and returns
  • 5-year cash flow analysis — Year-by-year projections including revenue escalation, operating expense inflation, debt service, and ITC recapture risk
  • Key financial metrics — Simple payback period, 5-year IRR, NPV at your chosen discount rate

Built for Real Deals

The calculator includes PWA compliance warnings for projects over 1 MW, handles battery capacity separately from solar sizing, and models ITC recapture vesting across the full 5-year compliance period. Optional debt financing lets you see leveraged vs. unleveraged returns side by side.
