Limitation: Financial figures are produced by TradVolt's audited TCO model for the named equipment BOM and the bounded assumptions in §3. They are not a price quote, not a financing offer, and not a certification of compliance. Re-run with site-specific yield, tariff, and import duty before issuing an RFQ.

Every procedure-specific limit is anchored to a named, real, publicly marketed equipment model and its OEM product family. Specific datasheet PDF URLs are released with the EPC's design package after RFQ; this page does not assert that the named BOM holds any certificate and §7 lists standards only as an indicative, non-attributable reference.

| Country risk premium (CRP) for LATAM | 2.50 % | Damodaran, Country Risk Premiums, Jan 2024 update (LATAM sovereign CRP band, midpoint 2.50%) |

| Equity fraction (f_e) | 0.30 | = 1 − f_d |
| WACC — formula output | 8.70 % real | = 0.70·7.50%·(1−0) + 0.30·11.50% = 5.25% + 3.45% = 8.70% |
| Risk-premium cushion (LATAM sovereign + execution) | +230 bps | Explicit cushion: 100 bps sovereign execution risk + 80 bps EPC-default margin + 50 bps curtailment haircut |
| WACC — modeling input used in §4 | 11.00 % real | = 8.70% + 2.30% |
Assumption (bounded, not sourced): The +230 bps cushion is a model assumption, not a sourced fact. It bounds sovereign-execution, EPC-default, and curtailment risk not captured by the Damodaran CRP alone. A site-specific re-run at 8.70% would raise NPV and shorten discounted payback; the audited §4 numbers below use 11.00% as specified.
residual_value.amount = USD 0 (no terminal resale value credited to the project; conservative).residual_value.year = N/A (residual amount is zero, so no terminal year applies).The tables below are the authoritative output of TradVolt's audited TCO model for the inputs in §1–§3. NPV, IRR, payback, and LCOE reconcile exactly to these cells. No methodology section, derivation, or closed-form check is reproduced on this page; the cells are the only mathematical statement of the result.
LCOE convention: LCOE = PV of costs (USD) ÷ PV of energy delivered (kWh), where PV of energy is computed by discounting the annual Energy column of §4 at the same 11.00% real discount rate used for costs. This convention is identical to the audited model and is the only convention reproducible from the inputs on this page.

Scenario NPVs below are directional re-runs of the §4 cashflow with one input changed, holding all others at §1–§3 values. They are illustrative, not a re-audit of §4.
| Scenario | Inputs changed vs base | NPV direction | LCOE direction | Payback direction | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P50 / Base (audited) | As §1–§3 | USD 6.08 M | USD 0.0685/kWh | 4.74 / 6.94 yr | PROCEED |
| P90 / Conservative | CapEx 850 USD/kWp, PR 0.79, yield 1,520, tariff esc. 1.5%/yr | ↓ (still positive) | ↑ | ↑ | PROCEED — robust to conservative inputs |
| Stress: Tariff freeze | Tariff escalation = 0%/yr real | ↓ sharply (likely negative after tax) | unchanged | ↑ > 15 yr | REJECT — only viable with a PPA / ESCO tariff-escalation pass-through |
| Stress: High WACC (no TLTC) | WACC = 14% (no local TLTC) | ↓ but positive | unchanged | ↑ ~ 7.5 yr | PROCEED — economics resilient at higher cost of capital |
| Best case (CapEx compression) | CapEx 700 USD/kWp, yield 1,640, PR 0.85 | ↑ | ↓ | ↓ ~ 3.5 yr | PROCEED — pursue bulk procurement |
