Hello everyone. This question goes out to the contractors that deal with
rebate structures that use a performance based incentive like the new Xcel
solar rewards program. I am finding it difficult to compute the performance
based incentive (.40 cents per kilowatt hour of production) into the RetScreen
financial analysis tool and am wondering how others are dealing with this
complication and what kinds of financial analysis tools allow for the input of
this kind of performance based incentive. Since the PBI is not a up front
rebate but rather a monthly payout based on production over time it is
difficult to input this into the program. If I take the PBI and add up the
amount over the ten year period and put it into the program as a lump sum it
throws off the payback timeline. There is just no option for a performance
based incentive in the program. How do you all deal with an incentive of this
kind and what kinds of financial analysis tools do you all use to best
represent a rebate of this kind. Thanks.
