Solar Feasibility spreadsheet: A powerful tool to measure the viability of your solar roof
|
The Solar plant feasibility spreadsheet is powerful and very easy to use tool which calculates the complete techno-economic viability of the residential solar power system. It is a 100% transparent spreadsheet with each formula highlighted and one can edit or add any of the formulas and optimize the output as per one's needs and requirements.
With this spreadsheet, you can analyze the energy patterns at your location, determine the configuration of the system and know the financial feasibility of your solar power system. |
"Discover the laws of solar energy"

Hi, readers!
My name is Yash Kumar and I am the owner of Aditya Greens. I am an entrepreneur, solar energy consultant, and a value investor. I promote the use of solar technology by providing relevant information based on my own exhaustive research. I teach people about the solar technology and its implementation in our daily lives. |
The conventional energy is depleting at the very fast rate because of continuous rise in the demand. Residential electricity rates are increasing continuously so are our electricity bills. There is an urgent need of a reliable and feasible source of energy which can not only provide us the energy but also lower down our electricity bills.
"The solar energy is one such option which fulfills the above-mentioned criterion
The solar energy is available everywhere on the surface of the earth but its intensity varies as location changes. The level of intensity plays an important role in designing the solar power system. Therefore, it is very important to know the level of solar radiations at your location so as to size the solar system accordingly.
Yes, people are using solar PV systems to power their homes but before going ahead & spending a good amount of money on solar power, it is required to know the configuration, feasibility and the saving you will have during the lifetime of the project.
I have interacted with many companies and visited many solar PV systems in the different places. Soon, I realized that it is very important first to analyze the feasibility of the system before installing solar PV system at the roof top.
That is why I have encapsulated all my practical knowledge and formulas into a fully transparent powerful package called a solar techno-economic spreadsheet.
