[Source: COMPUTED TABLES, computed per the page's computed landed-cost model; inputs reconciled to §4 below.]
The figures above derive from the following bounded model inputs. None of these is a quotation; each is a model assumption the B2B buyer must replace with a confirmed value at RFQ.
| Input | Value used | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Horizon | 15 years | Matches §2/§3 tables. |
| Discount rate | 8.00% | Matches §2/§3 tables. |
| CapEx (Year-0, landed) | USD 70,000 | Model assumption (bounded). residual_value.amount = USD 0; residual_value.year = horizon end (no residual credited). |
| asset.ess.usable_pct | 90% DoD-equivalent (per 52,245 kWh Year-1 energy against 215 kWh nominal, ~243 equivalent full cycles) | Model assumption (bounded). |
| asset.ess.round_trip_eff | Bounded; consistent with 0.2177 USD/kWh LCOS at the assumed charge cost and discharge value (see §3 Year-1 benefit 6,744.35 USD on 52,245 kWh) | Model assumption (bounded). Confirm round-trip efficiency against the OEM datasheet at RFQ (e.g., Sungrow ST2752UX-class architecture). |
| asset.ess.cycles_per_year | ~270 cycles/yr equivalent at Year-1 (52,245 kWh discharged / 215 kWh nominal, after usable-DoD adjustment) | Model assumption (bounded); replaces the prior "pending verified PDF" placeholder (R1). Confirm against OEM cycle-life curve. |
| asset.ess.degradation_pct_per_year | ~2.0% energy throughput reduction per year (visible as -2.0%/yr in Year-by-year kWh column: 52,245 → 39,374.02) | Model assumption (bounded); replaces the prior "pending verified PDF" placeholder (R1). Confirm against OEM calendar-life curve. |
| asset.ess.charge_cost_per_kwh | Bounded; reconciling to LCOS 0.2177 USD/kWh given Year-1 benefit 6,744.35 USD on 52,245 kWh | Model assumption (bounded). Replace with Egypt-specific grid tariff / solar LCOE at RFQ. |
| asset.ess.value_per_kwh_discharged | Bounded; implied by Year-1 benefit 6,744.35 USD on 52,245 kWh | Model assumption (bounded). Replace with displaced-tariff revenue at RFQ. |
| Year-1 OpEx | USD 1,800 | Model assumption (bounded); inflates at 2%/yr through Year-15 (see §3 table). |
| Year-0 CapEx (input, not table-derived) | USD 70,000 | Model assumption (bounded). Matches §2 / §3 tables exactly. |

| Wood packaging / palletising | Per shipment | IPPC ISPMs (ISPM 15 wood-packaging compliance). |
| Egyptian import duty (HS 8507 line — confirm national sub-heading) | PENDING — lookup against Egyptian Customs Authority national tariff for the relevant 8507 sub-heading (e.g., 8507.60 lithium-ion) | HS heading 8507 (lithium-ion accumulators) per the harmonized system reference; Egyptian national line and rate confirmed at the Egypt Customs Authority portal (R13). |
| Egyptian VAT | PENDING — confirm against Egyptian Tax Authority VAT schedule | Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) — VAT schedule page (R13). |
| Customs fees / pre-shipment inspection (GOEIC) | PENDING — confirm applicability against GOEIC approved-inspector list and current regulations | GOEIC — General Organization for Export and Import Control regulations portal (R1/R13). |
| Last-mile delivery to site | PENDING — RFQ-dependent | Local carrier — confirm at RFQ. |
| Installation & commissioning | PENDING — RFQ-dependent | Local EPC / Tradvolt partner — confirm at RFQ. |
This page does not assert any certificate is held by the reference product class. The bullet list below names the standards typically required for an LFP ESS cabinet exported from China to Egypt. No certificate ID, issuer or holder is claimed on this page; each certificate number must be confirmed directly with the issuing certification body before shipment.

Sensitivity rows below hold the same Year-0 CapEx rows used in the draft (USD 60,000 / 70,000 / 80,000) and recompute the USD 10,000 revenue column correctly (R11). They are illustrative against the same bounded OpEx / horizon / discount assumptions.
| CapEx (USD) \ Revenue/yr (USD) | 5,000 | 7,500 | 10,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60,000 | 18.8 | 10.5 | 7.32 |
| 70,000 | 21.9 | 12.3 | 8.54 |
| 80,000 | 25.0 | 14.0 | 9.76 |
Recomputed cells (R11): 60,000/8,200 ≈ 7.32; 70,000/8,200 ≈ 8.54; 80,000/8,200 ≈ 9.76 — replacing the previous 6.7 / 7.8 / 8.9 values.
Lithium-ion accumulators typically classify under HS heading 8507 (lithium-ion). The exact Egyptian national tariff sub-heading and rate must be confirmed against the Egypt Customs Authority portal before quoting.
Ex-works + ocean freight (CN→EG) + marine insurance + Egyptian import duty + Egyptian VAT + customs fees + last-mile delivery + installation & commissioning. See §5.
Routine preventive maintenance, thermal/IR scan, firmware updates, auxiliary/standby losses, optional remote-monitoring subscription, spare parts, and post-commissioning insurance. The Year-1 OpEx input used here is a bounded USD 1,800 assumption (see §4).
Under the bounded assumptions listed in §4, the project is NPV-negative over 15 years (NPV = USD -35,530.97), with no simple or discounted payback. A binding figure requires an RFQ against a confirmed OEM cabinet, freight quote, and Egyptian HS/duty/VAT lookup.
No. The TCO and sensitivity figures are illustrative only — not a quotation, offer, or financial advice. A binding landed-cost figure is produced only after an RFQ with a confirmed OEM cabinet, EXW price, freight rate, HS national line and duty/VAT rates.
