Modeling notes
Performance Ratio (PR) includes inverter and AC/transformer losses. AC-side gain = DC-side gain × (1 − inverter+AC loss %).
Known structural divergences vs. source Excel models (Phase 2 reconciliation, May 2026):
Infrastructure cost is derived here (rails $5/m × 2 + gutter $10/m × 1, × shipping multiplier × total row length). The Excel hard-codes $563,550 across every region. Effect: customer CAPEX differs by 5-10%, which can swing customer NPV by 10-50% in low-margin regions (Europe, Northern Europe).
NovaSun cash flow timing. This tool models NovaSun as an 8-period series with HW COGS and customer payment lumped at t=0. The Excel splits them across 9 periods (COGS at Nov-1, HW margin at Jan-1, then 7 annual margins). Effect: NovaSun NPV ~10-30% higher here than in the Excel; IRR / Payback structurally different.
Customer NPV uses simple annual discounting (1.10ⁿ); Excel uses XNPV with explicit Jan-1 dates. Sub-1% impact at a 10% discount rate.
Rails formula: 2 × row length per row (two parallel rails). Gutter: 1 × row length per row (water recycling channel). Both at constants $5/m and $10/m, multiplied by the per-region shipping & install factor (default 1.30).
One robot per row — NovaSun is rail-mounted, self-energized, and can cross sections. Default cleaning frequency 365 cycles / yr (nightly).
Soiling model uses direct cleanliness % inputs (current vs. target). Sward / Caron / Massi soiling models can swap in here later.
Water savings use a 90% recycling rate vs. the recycled-water nightly cleaning baseline (per-region $/farm/yr value).
Remote sites apply a mobilization/demobilization multiplier to manual cleaning cost (per-region default).
