Solar investing encompasses investments in various aspects of the solar energy supply chain. Perhaps you invest in companies like First Solar (ticker: FSLR) that produce large-scale solar panels. It might even mean investing in a popular company like Tesla (TSLA) that hopes to create smaller solar products for homes.
"Solar power is an increasingly important source of clean, renewable energy," said Jimmy Chuang, Chief Capital Markets Officer of Strata Solar. "We appreciated CIT's expertise and agility in arranging financing for this portfolio of solar facilities."
The evaluation of investment projects has been carried out mainly through the analysis of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), whose financial feasibility measures have been based fundamentally on approaches such as the Net Present Value (NPV) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), which are widely discussed in the field of energy project valuation.
This valuation methodology was applied to a photovoltaic solar energy self-generation project in Colombia. In this study, the results obtained through the DNPV was equivalent to 2.3-fold the value obtained by means of NPV.
