Importar LFP Rack 100kWh desde China a Bahrein — Hotel-Solar TCO & Costo Puesto en Destino
Veredicto (ilustrativo, resultado del modelo): For the reference 100 kWh LFP rack (CapEx 45,000 USD; 1 cycle/day at 80% DoD; net shift delta 0.01 USD/kWh; 8% discount rate; 10-year horizon), the computed NPV is -48,942.70 USD, simple payback is not reached, discounted payback is not reached, and LCOS is 0.2749 USD/kWh. Equipment family: CATL EnerC 100 commercial LFP rack (CATL CTP/CTC architecture, 100 kWh class), comparable with Sungrow ST114 / ST129 C&I LFP cabinets and Huawei LUNA2000-215 Series — exact SKU confirmed at RFQ. Location: Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain. Horizon: 10 years. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: net shift delta (0.01 USD/kWh) reflects charge cost ~0.09 USD/kWh against a flat self-consumption value of 0.10 USD/kWh; higher ToU delta materially compresses payback (see §3).

3. TCO — COMPUTED TABLES (model output, computed)
Arithmetic model output only. Not a binding offer, not a price. Real figures depend on hotel load profile, PV yield, utility tariff, and battery sizing.
- discount_rate: 8.00% per annum
- residual_value.amount: 0 USD | residual_value.year: — (not modelled at year 10; residual not included in cashflows)
- replacements[0].amount: DROPPED-ITEM (no augmentation cashflow within the 10-year horizon)

- asset.ess.degradation_pct_per_year: 2% (model assumption; year-1 throughput 29,200.00 kWh → year-10 24,345.43 kWh)
- asset.ess.charge_cost_per_kwh: ~0.09 USD/kWh (model assumption; combined with 0.10 USD/kWh flat self-consumption value yields the 0.01 USD/kWh net shift delta seen in §3 cashflow)

Note on the §3 verdict: at the modeled inputs (CapEx 45,000 USD; net shift delta 0.01 USD/kWh; 8% discount; 10-year horizon), annual net cash flow is negative in every year, so simple and discounted payback are not reached and IRR is undefined — consistent with NPV = -48,942.70 USD and the COMPUTED TABLES above. Higher ToU delta materially compresses payback and would change the verdict.
