TRAINING COURSE

Commercial Photovoltaic (PV) Project Analysis Using RETScreen

TRAINING COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course will review examples of both rebate and performance-based solar incentive policies and how they impact commercial financial models. Examples used will be in the United States; specifically New York and New Jersey, although the broad differences between these two incentive structures will be discussed and the students will be able to apply the application to a wide variety of locations. After a review of specific policies and incentives, the class will learn how to build a commercial PV financial model in both types of incentive structures. Two case studies will be reviewed in detail.

TRAINING COURSE EXPECTATIONS

This RETScreen course is intended for users who are familiar with photovoltaic system design and the financial incentives associated with these projects. RETScreen does not require design inputs, such as string configurations, and these inputs are not necessary to perform an analysis. This course will include no background on the photovoltaic market, technology, or different applications. RETScreen is intended to be a versatile tool for performing high-level financial and risk analysis for photovoltaic and other renewable energy and energy efficiency applications.
