Solar PV with storage and biomass boilers – LCOE calculator

18 December 2020
Focus area: Energy
Program stream: Sustainability
Project number: 2020-1054
This project developed a tool and advisory service to help AMPC members evaluate the business case for solar PV, batteries, and biomass boilers. 

Two separate LCOE tools were developed for the assessment of solar PV systems (with options for battery storage) and biomass boilers, to provide a comprehensive financial analysis of renewable project offers. 

A user manual was developed for each of the tools to assist AMPC staff and a webinar provided a presentation for AMPC members. 

The AMPC advisory service will provide AMPC members with accurate advice on financial feasibility of solar PV and biomass boiler offers. The service will help AMPC members make informed decisions on these types of renewable project investments which will assist in development of energy and carbon emissions management strategies.

AMPC members that would like a demonstration of the tool can contact AMPC Program Manager, Sustainability Matt Deegan - 0429 977 028.
