In past versions, I believe you made the PPA price input a "schedule variable" where I could enter a PPA rate for Years 1-15 and a different PPA rate for years 15-30. I didn't see it in this function in the latest version SAM 3.14.2016. I know there are various workarounds (ie, escalation rate that equals the slope of increase, sending the model to excel and updating it there, etc.) but is there a way to do this in the current version?
It is not possible to specify a different PPA prices for different years in SAM. We have received this feature request before and will consider it for a future version.
Best regards,
Paul.
