Low and mid income SSEG PV model
The spreadsheet model evaluates the impact on municipal revenue and household electricity costs if a low/mid-income household invests in a grid-tied rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system. The model compares household electricity costs for two scenarios called ‘Without SSEG’ (without a rooftop PV system, i.e. the default) and ‘With SSEG’ (with a rooftop PV system) (Conway and
The financial case for rooftop solar pv in low-and-mid income households in South Africa (Modelling))
This report describes, in detail, a spreadsheet model that evaluates the impact on municipal revenue and household electricity costs if the household invests in a grid-tied rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system and identifies areas of potential which could improve the financial case for LIHH & MIHH without unduly prejudicing municipal income or requiring significant subsidisation (Conway
