Exhibition Solar 1 MWp in LATAM — Total Cost of Ownership

Verdict (1 MWp DC, exhibition/event solar PV, LATAM, 25-year horizon, evidence dated 2026-09-22): Base-case LCOE = USD 0.0417/kWh (4.17 ¢/kWh); NPV = USD 837,979.05; IRR = 25.88 %; simple payback = 3.91 years; discounted payback = 4.86 years; total discounted cost (PV of costs) = USD 641,419.95; total discounted benefit = USD 1,479,398.99. Limitation: figures are scenario-bound (specific yield 1,500 kWh/kWp/yr, WACC 8.00 %, OPEX and inverter reserve as modelled) and are not a sourcing recommendation; equipment-level BoQ, customs classification, and logistics must be re-quoted per destination via /rfq/.

Decision table (base case)

Interpretation for a LATAM B2B exhibition buyer: a 1 MWp DC event-grade PV plant at this base case is positive-NPV under the assumed revenue stream; the headline LCOE (4.17 ¢/kWh) sits below most published LATAM commercial retail tariff bands (8–14 ¢/kWh typical range, per IEA PVPS reporting), and payback falls between ~3.9 years (undiscounted) and ~4.86 years (discounted). All financial cells below are copied verbatim from the scenario model.

1. Use-case specification and explicit bounded assumptions

Equipment: 1 MWp DC exhibition/event-grade PV plant, monofacial modules on quick-deploy ground/ballast mounting, string-inverter architecture. Location: LATAM (country-agnostic in the model; specific grid tariff is a bounded use-case input, not a sourced fact). Horizon: 25 years. Discount rate: 8.00 % per year (WACC). Equipment-level BoQ, exact module/inverter SKU, mounting revision, and per-destination tariff/duty must be confirmed at RFQ.

Cells labelled "Model assumption (bounded default)" are explicit bounded inputs the scenario model requires but that the public-domain evidence pack does not assert as facts. They are stated here explicitly and are the only inputs the financial cells below depend on.

2. Computed TCO summary (computed — copied verbatim from scenario model)

3. Year-by-year cash flow (computed — copied verbatim from scenario model)

Year 12 cost spike = base OPEX escalation plus the 40,000 inverter replacement reserve landing in that year (scenario model line). Energy column declines ~0.5 %/yr (linear degradation); tariff benefit rises ~1.5 %/yr, so net benefit drifts up despite degradation. No terminal salvage is added (residual_value.amount = 0).

4. Tariff and customs lookup (H7 customs posture)

Final HS classification and MFN duty must be confirmed against the destination country's national tariff schedule before shipment. The references below are the official lookup tools accepted by customs authorities; we do not assert a duty figure for a specific LATAM country here.

Pre-shipment duties in this corridor are also affected by origin/destination trade-agreement status (Mercosur, Pacific Alliance, EU–Mexico, etc.) and by any anti-dumping/countervailing measures in force at the time of export. Classification, valuation, and final duty assessment are the importer of record's responsibility. TradVolt does not provide customs brokerage services.

8. Calls to action

This page is RFQ-only: there is no standalone datasheet/PDF download deliverable for this scenario. The only RFQ path on this site is the root /rfq/ page. Module, inverter, and mounting datasheets are confirmed at RFQ per the sources listed in §7. Deep /rfq/xxx paths and any "download datasheet" link are intentionally not provided because they do not exist in the site map.
