Solar LCOE Calculator
Calculate discounted lifetime solar project cost per kWh from capital cost, production, degradation, operating cost, replacement cost, and discount rate.
Solar LCOE Calculator
Enter project costs, year-one production, degradation, operating costs, replacement costs, project life, and discount rate to calculate discounted lifetime cost per kWh.
Calculated result
Levelized cost of energy
Enter assumptions to compare this result with an electricity rate.
- Net upfront cost
- $0
- Present value of costs
- $0
- Present value of energy
- 0 kWh
- Undiscounted lifetime energy
- 0 kWh
- Nominal lifetime costs
- $0
- Year-one yield
- 0 kWh/kW
Method used
Present value of lifetime project costs divided by present value of lifetime energy. Annual energy is reduced by the degradation rate; O&M and replacement costs are discounted to year zero.
Planning estimate only. Results depend entirely on the assumptions entered and do not constitute engineering, tax, investment, or financing advice.
