The solar industry began with a single burden - demonstrate that a solar investment makes financial sense. We aim to expound on the richness of the larger embrace of solar energy, but we are still almost always asked to quantify the ROI of a solar project. To reach our goals, those of Lighthouse and those of our planet, we need to remove all the barriers to adopting solar. To this end, let’s recap the fundamental financial attributes of a solar investment.
At its most basic, solar can be evaluated as a simple payback, calculated as the time it takes to recover the initial investment using the cost of electricity over time. We can assume either a conservative increase or no inflation in energy. In either case, the other choices to buy electricity come with a practical option to consider an ROI. Further considerations come with this calculation.
These are just the most basic tenets. In talking with our customers, we have heard as many different motivations as you could count.
