Profitability analysis
Inputs (I)
For the profitability analysis in this presentation, we will consider the following inputs:
4.Loan
For 12 years
Interest rate of 5%
Though the most of the financings of the facilities have a variable type indexed
to the EURIBOR, we consider an interest of 5 % for this study
Equity: 20 %

Profitability analysis
Inputs (II)
Investment Operation and other costs (The insurance and the
Type of installation
(€/Wp) physical surveillance are NOT considered)
Fix to ground crystalline module 2.9
Fix to ground thin film module 2.7
Fix cost: 200 €
Crystalline module with
4.1 +
suntracker
2 % of the incomes for the energy produced
Fix to roof crystalline module 3
Fix to roof thin film module 2.8
Note: The price of a solar plant in Germany will be 0.1 € lower per Wp than in Spain, due to
administrative simplifications in that country
