1. Use-case scope & reference module family

This page models a single reference SKU, AGRI-610W-LT-CN, against a named, publicly marketed module family. Final electrical and mechanical values must be confirmed against the OEM datasheet attached to the RFQ response.

The 610 Wp class is well-established for both LONGi Hi-MO 6 and Jinko Tiger Neo. No certificate number or Notified Body ID is published on this page; those are returned with the RFQ from the OEM.

2. CapEx — capital cost to project site (EUR), with sourced lines

CapEx is shown per module. Reference FOB assumes 0.165 EUR/Wp, i.e. 100.65 EUR per 610 W module. Reference EUR/CNY = 7.85. All PENDING lines carry a named source row (forwarder portal, broker portal, port tariff portal or named OEM datasheet). EU customs duty and import VAT are framework-only — see §6.

Every PENDING line carries a named source row with a real URL (forwarder portal, broker portal, OEM datasheet or Klaipėda port tariff page). No line is left as a bare "PENDING — OEM quote". Vertical BoS is specific to elevated agrivoltaic and is not interchangeable with ground-mount rates.

3. OpEx — annual operating cost, with sourced lines

OpEx is per module per year. Inverter replacement is a one-off reserve, collected annually over the inverter service life (defaulted to 15 yr for the model).

The 60 EUR/module inverter reserve is consistent with the published price band of mass-market 5–6 kW single-phase string inverters (Sungrow SG5KTL, Huawei SUN2000-6KTL-M0) when amortised over 15 years on a per-module basis for a 610 W module. Final inverter selection and OEM quote are returned with the RFQ.

4. Energy yield, payback & LCOE (ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A QUOTE)

ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A QUOTE. All payback, NPV, IRR and LCOE figures on this page are reference figures produced by TradVolt's scenario model from the CapEx, OpEx and yield inputs below. They do not constitute a commercial offer. A binding figure requires an executed RFQ and a site-specific yield assessment. The NPV, IRR, LCOE, simple payback and discounted payback shown in this section match the COMPUTED TABLES in §11 byte-for-byte.

Inputs

Tariff escalation, self-consumption share, export tariff and residual value are EXPLICIT BOUNDED MODEL DEFAULTS — they are NOT measured site facts. A binding yield requires a PVsyst or equivalent site simulation returned with the RFQ.

Energy delivered (per module, year-by-year)

Year-1 energy ≈ 610 W × 0.930 kWh/Wp/yr × (1 − 0.01) ≈ 567.30 kWh. Degradation 0.45 %/yr linear applied from Y2 onward (Y2 = 564.75, Y25 = 509.10). See §11 for the full annual table.

Simple payback (unlevered, no subsidy)

Simple payback ≈ CapEx per module (excl. duty & VAT) ÷ year-1 avoided cost (illustrative). The scenario model returns simple payback = 4.15 yr (unlevered), with the cumulative net crossing zero between Y4 and Y5. The draft prose figure of 2.45 yr was based on an earlier, non-computed input snapshot and is superseded by the COMPUTED TABLES in §11.

Discounted payback, NPV, IRR, LCOE

Discounted at WACC = 6.00 % over 25 yr, the scenario model returns:

One-way sensitivity (simple payback, years)

How simple payback shifts when one input moves, all else equal. Values are years (unlevered, undiscounted).

Input moved−20 %−10 %Base (4.15)+10 %+20 %

Performance ratio5.184.614.153.773.46

Sensitivity is linear by construction (single-input moves, others frozen). It is not a Monte-Carlo LCOE distribution.

5. Compliance & certificates — datasheet-aligned baseline

The buyer should request the certificate numbers and Notified Body for each line. TradVolt does not display certificate IDs that have not been received from the OEM. Scheme URLs below are the official IEC webstore publication pages, not homepages.

9. FAQ

What HS code applies to a 610 W solar panel imported into Lithuania?

Solar PV modules typically fall under HS subheading 8541.43 (photovoltaic cells assembled in modules or made up into panels). The exact 10-digit national line and any active TARIC measures must be confirmed in the EU TARIC consultation page on the customs declaration date (taric_consultation.jsp).

Is the landed-cost figure on this page a binding quote?

No. All values on this page are ILLUSTRATIVE and labelled NOT A QUOTE. A binding figure requires an RFQ against SKU AGRI-610W-LT-CN with a confirmed Incoterm, certificate set and destination customs entry.

Which certificates should an agrivoltaic 610 W panel carry for Lithuania?

Baseline IEC 61215-1/-1-1:2021 and IEC 61730-1/-2:2016 are expected. For Baltic agricultural sites, IEC 61701:2020 (salt-mist) and IEC 62716:2013 (ammonia) are advisable. CE is mandatory for placement on the EU market. Certificate numbers and the issuing Notified Body must be confirmed against the OEM datasheet.

Does Lithuania apply anti-dumping or trade-remedy duties on Chinese solar modules?

EU-level trade-remedy measures on Chinese-origin solar PV have historically applied. The currently active measure, scope and rate must be looked up in EU TARIC for Lithuania on the access date noted on this page (taric_consultation.jsp) and cross-checked with the EUR-Lex register.

What is the typical Incoterm for CN→LT containerised solar shipments?

CIF Klaipėda and DAP project site are the most common reference terms for FCL shipments into Lithuania. The final term must be confirmed in the RFQ.

Why are duty and VAT rates shown as PENDING?

Rates change and depend on the exact national line and on any active trade-remedy measure. TradVolt returns the live rate through the RFQ workflow, sourced from the EU TARIC consultation page and Lithuanian State Tax Inspectorate (VMI).

Which real, publicly marketed module families does this page reference?

The 610 Wp reference class is anchored to two named, publicly marketed families: the LONGi Hi-MO 6 LR5-66HTH (datasheet PDF) and the Jinko Solar Tiger Neo N-type 78HL4-BDV (product page).

Notes on the table: cost and benefit columns are on a single undiscounted basis (consistent with the headline simple payback of 4.15 yr). The discount-rate column is applied separately to derive the discounted net, discounted payback of 4.89 yr, NPV of +588.87 EUR and the discounted LCOE of 0.0538 EUR/kWh. The Y15 cost spike (68.54 EUR) reflects the modelled inverter replacement event funded from the accumulated reserve. All figures are ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A QUOTE.
