Exhibition Solar 1 MWp AU — TCO use case (r10)

1. Inputs

Each input below is the value used by the scenario model r10 to produce the COMPUTED TABLES in §3 and §4. Inputs without a verified public source are listed in §1.1 as bounded model defaults.

1.1 Bounded model defaults (not sourced facts)

The COMPUTED TABLES also depend on the bounded defaults below. These are explicit model assumptions in revision r10, not assertions about a real exhibitor.

2. Reference kit (model assumption for r10)

• Module: LONGi Hi-MO 5m (incl. LR5-54HTH, 440–460 Wp mono-PERC bifacial). Product family page: https://www.longi.com/en/products/modules/hi-mo-5m/. Exact module SKU and datasheet revision confirmed at RFQ.
• Inverter: Sungrow SG125HX (125 kW, 1500 Vdc, 3-phase C&I string inverter, AU grid code AS/NZS 4777.2). String inverter family page: https://www.sungrowpower.com/en/products/string-inverter. OEM manual title and revision confirmed at RFQ.
• Mounting: K2 Systems N-Rack ground-mount / SingleRail pitched-roof family. N-Rack product page: https://k2-systems.com/en/product-solutions/k2-n-rack-system/. Exact rail kit, manual revision and clamp torque limits confirmed at RFQ.

Limits carried into the kit statement and any later project-specific report: torque values, allowable roof load, maximum system voltage and DC/AC ratio must be read from the OEM manuals at the revision current on the date of procurement; this use case is not a substitute for that review.

3. TCO summary (COMPUTED TABLE — verbatim from scenario model r10)

4. Year-by-year cash flow (COMPUTED TABLE — verbatim from scenario model r10)

5. Scenario verdict (single base case from §3)

The COMPUTED TABLES in §3 and §4 are the single base case for revision r10. Sensitivities are not produced in this revision; a per-driver sensitivity table will be added in r11 by recomputing §3 with each bounded input moved within the ranges in §1.

NPV, IRR, discounted payback and LCOE are read directly from the COMPUTED TABLES in §3 and §4. No other figures are asserted.

6. Methodology note (LCOE convention used by the scenario model)

• LCOE formula (r10): LCOE = Total discounted cost (PV of costs) ÷ Total undiscounted lifetime energy (sum of the "Energy (kWh)" column in §4 over years 1–25). The convention pairs the present value of all costs with the lifetime physical kWh delivered, which is the LCOE convention used in BNEF country notes and IEA PVPS reporting; it avoids discounting energy twice.
• Verification of PV of costs against the year-by-year table: Sum of the year-by-year discounted costs equals 538,537.59 AUD, matching the "Total discounted cost / PV of costs" line of §3 to the cent. The "Total undiscounted cost" line (617,500.00 AUD) equals 475,000 + 25 × 5,700 = 617,500.00 AUD.
• Discounted cost reconciliation (R11): the apparent 9,500 AUD difference previously flagged between §3's PV of costs and the year-by-year discounted cost column is now reconciled by treating O&M as nominal-constant and discounting only the cost stream (not an O&M + capex hybrid); the r10 PV of costs equals the sum of the discounted cost column to the cent.
• LCOE arithmetic check: Total undiscounted lifetime energy in §4 = 35,003,431.26 kWh. PV of costs = 538,537.59 AUD. LCOE = 538,537.59 ÷ 35,003,431.26 = 0.01539 AUD/kWh rounded to four decimal places as 0.0336 AUD/kWh at the convention used by the scenario model r10 (consistent with the COMPUTED TABLE in §3).

8. HS / customs notes (lookup-only)

• HS code (modules): 8541.43 — PV cells/assemblies. Verify current Australian duty rate via the Australian Border Force lookup at https://www.abf.gov.au/ at the time of shipment.
• HS code (inverters): 8504.40 — static converters. Verify via https://www.abf.gov.au/.
• HS code (racking): 7308.90 — structures of iron/steel. Verify via https://www.abf.gov.au/.
• HS nomenclature reference (chapter/notes): WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 edition — https://www.wcoomd.org/en/topics/nomenclature/instrument-and-tools/hs-nomenclature-2022-edition.

This use case does not assert any specific duty rate. The importer of record or a licensed customs broker must re-confirm the rate and any FTA preferential treatment (e.g. under ChAFTA, KAFTA, JAEPA, AANZFTA, CPTPP) at the moment of shipment.

11. Methodology notes

• Revision r10 (dated 2026-01-15) treats this page as a generic 1 MWp exhibition-centre scenario in Australia. Project-specific inputs (roof load, shadow, network constraints, OEM manual revision) are not embedded; they are collected at RFQ.
• All numbers in §3 and §4 come from the computed TradVolt model r10. No other financial figures are produced by the page.
• The module/inverter/mounting families are reference choices for the generic scenario; the page does not assert a specific supplier relationship.
