LCOE Calculator - EcoSmart™ Solar
http://ecosmartsun.com/lcoe-calculator
Advanced Solar Knowledge. Just ASK. Solar Maps of Canada. LCOE & ROI Calculator. The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). Is widely used to define the cost of electricity generation (in $/ MWh) over the life of the solar power plant (typically 25 years). The LCOE is calculated by dividing the present value of the capital costs all operating costs over the lifetime of the solar plant by the present value of the electricity generated. Run the LCOE and ROI Calculator. The simulation needs the CDF Player Plug-in.

Advanced Solar Knowledge. Just ASK. Solar Maps of Canada. LCOE & ROI Calculator. Interactive simulation showing the energy yield for 6 types of mounting systems: Fixed and five different sun trackers. Install the CDF Player Plug-in. Prior to run this simulation. A full tracker can yield up to 70% more energy than fixed system. Horizontal Trackers East-West does not yield significantly more energy than fixed arrays. Horizontal Trackers North-South are more effective at lower latitude. Letter from Dianne W...

SunMine - EcoSmart™ Solar
http://ecosmartsun.com/sunmine-2
Advanced Solar Knowledge. Just ASK. Solar Maps of Canada. LCOE & ROI Calculator. EcoSmart was the driving force behind SunMine, a one MegaWatt PhotoVoltaic plant on a reclaimed industrial site in Kimberley, BC. After six years studies and pre-development activities, the PV plant was installed by Conergy, using Conergy PV modules, ABB- Power-One distributed inverters and DEGER dual axis-tracker. Now completed, SunMine is the first large-scale ground-mounted, grid connected PV plant in Western Canada.
