Import 580 W Solar Panel to Morocco — Ground-Mount TCO & Landed Cost
Verdict (under the bounded model inputs on this page, 25-year horizon, 8.00% discount rate, 1,000 kWp ground-mount, China → Morocco). The modelled 1,000 kWp ground-mount project returns NPV = USD 737,349.66, IRR = 24.25%, simple payback = 4.14 years, discounted payback = 5.23 years, LCOE = USD 0.0306/kWh. Equipment: Jinko Solar Tiger Neo JKM580N-78HL4-BDV 580 W monocrystalline bifacial module. Location: Morocco (ground-mount). Horizon: 25 years. Discount rate: 8.00%. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: NPV/IRR/payback/LCOE figures are produced by Tradvolt's scenario TCO model from this page's own scenario using bounded defaults stated in §4 — they are not a Tradvolt sales quote and are not a substitute for site-specific engineering, financing terms or a PPA.

|---|---|---|
| Installed capacity | 1,000 kWp (≈1,724 × 580 W modules) | Model assumption |
| Horizon | 25 years | Model assumption |
| Discount rate | 8.00 % | Model assumption |
| Total CapEx (Year 0) | 450,000.00 USD | Model assumption (single bundled capex line) |
| Annual OpEx Year 1 | 9,000.00 USD (escalates 2.0%/yr per cashflow table) | Model assumption |
| Residual value | residual_value.amount = 0; residual_value.year = 0 (not modelled) | Model assumption — bounded default |
| PV self-consumption share | asset.pv.self_consumption_pct = 0% (modelled as 100% export) | Model assumption — bounded default |
| Module-level capex breakdown | amounts not pinned (capex[0]…capex[6] each not pinned; single bundled capex line of USD 450,000 used in §3 cashflow table) | Model assumption — bounded default |
| PV degradation rate | asset.pv.degradation_pct_per_year not pinned as an explicit scalar; energy column in §3 cashflow declines 0.5%/yr, giving Year-1 = 1,800 kWh/kWp × 1,000 kWp = 1,800,000 kWh and Year-25 ≈ 1,595,976 kWh | Model assumption — bounded default (derivable from §3 energy column) |
| Tariff / benefit escalation | asset.pv.tariff_escalation_pct not pinned as an explicit scalar; benefit column in §3 escalates ≈ 0.5%/yr (from USD 117,000.00 in Year 1 to USD 131,720.32 in Year 25, per the §3 table) | Model assumption — bounded default (derivable from §3 benefit column) |
| Export tariff | asset.pv.export_tariff_per_kwh not pinned as an explicit scalar; implied Year-1 export price = USD 117,000.00 / 1,800,000 kWh = USD 0.065/kWh (Year-1 only; year-by-year value already embedded in the §3 benefit column) | Model assumption — bounded default (derivable from §3 benefit + energy columns) |
| Year-1 specific yield | 1,800 kWh/kWp (1,800,000 kWh on 1,000 kWp) | Model assumption — bounded default |

Disclaimer on cert numbers and issuers: for every row above (including the IEC 61215 issuer cell), no certificate number and no issuing body are pinned on this page. The JKM580N-78HL4-BDV lot being procured must have its certificate number, issuing body and validity confirmed against the OEM datasheet and the issuing body's portal at the time of RFQ. The IEC 61215 / UL 61730-1 cells assert the standard designation, not a specific certificate issued by any particular body.
7. Duty / VAT — Morocco
HS subheading 8541 family applies to photovoltaic cells and modules (WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 edition, WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 edition). The exact national line, the DDI (droit d'importation) rate, the TVA (taxe sur la valeur ajoutée) rate and any TIC (taxe intérieure de consommation) must be looked up on the ADII portal at the time of import. Any preferential rate available under a free-trade agreement (e.g., EU–Morocco Association Agreement, Agadir Agreement) must be confirmed directly against ADII.
- Source: Morocco ADII (Douane Maroc) — https://www.douane.gov.ma/.
- HS / nomenclature basis: WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 edition — WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 edition.
- Lookup basis: ADII national tariff line under HS Chapter 85, subheading 8541 family (8541.40 / 8541.43).
No numeric DDI/TVA rate appears in the §3 cashflow table — the bundled Year-0 CapEx of USD 450,000 is the only CapEx figure on this page and already reflects whatever landed-cost stack the model was run with.

9. FAQ
What is the landed cost of a 580 W solar panel shipped from China to Morocco?
Landed cost = EXW unit price + ocean freight + marine insurance + ADII import duty (DDI) + TVA + port/THC + inland haul. On this page the CapEx is presented as a single bundled Year-0 line of USD 450,000 in the §3 cashflow table; that is the only landed-cost figure the scenario model produces. Per-line values are not pinned on this page and must be looked up on the Morocco ADII tariff portal (https://www.douane.gov.ma/) at the time of import.
Which HS code applies to 580 W solar panels imported into Morocco?
HS Chapter 85, subheading 8541 family (photovoltaic cells and modules; WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 edition, WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 edition). The exact national line and any preferential treatment (EU–Morocco Association Agreement, Agadir Agreement) must be confirmed on the ADII portal (https://www.douane.gov.ma/) at the time of import.
What certifications should I require for a 580 W ground-mount module in Morocco?
For the module: IEC 61215 (design qualification — IEC Webstore catalogue, https://webstore.iec.ch/) and UL 61730-1 (PV module safety — Part 1, UL 61730-1 product page). Specific certificate numbers, issuing body and validity must be confirmed against the OEM datasheet at the time of procurement. No certificate number is pinned on this page.
What is the payback for a ground-mount 580 W array in Morocco under the inputs on this page?
Under the bounded defaults in this page (1,000 kWp, 25-year horizon, 8.00% discount, Year-0 CapEx USD 450,000, Year-1 OpEx USD 9,000 escalating 2.0%/yr, single 1,800 kWh/kWp Year-1 specific yield with 0.5%/yr energy decline, single 117,000 USD/yr Year-1 benefit escalating ≈0.5%/yr): simple payback = 4.14 years, discounted payback = 5.23 years, NPV = USD 737,349.66, IRR = 24.25%, LCOE = USD 0.0306/kWh. These figures come from the §3 cashflow table and are the only financial figures on this page; they are not a Tradvolt sales quote and must be re-run with site-specific engineering, financing and PPA inputs before any decision.
What is the typical BoS cost for ground-mount 580 W projects?
BoS covers mounting structure, inverters, DC/AC cabling, combiner boxes, transformer, MV switchgear, SCADA, civil works, fencing and EPC margin. On this page, BoS is bundled into the Year-0 CapEx of USD 450,000; a per-kWp BoS breakdown is not pinned on this page and must be requested through the RFQ form at /rfq/.
How do I get a firm Tradvolt quote for 580 W panels to Morocco?
Submit the RFQ form (form action /rfq/) with product_sku, qty + unit, incoterm, target_cert, destination_country, buyer_email and buyer_company. Tradvolt replies within 48 hours.
