Financial parameters in SAM CSP

Dear Paul,

May I know where can I get the reference for these financial parameters used in the SAM CSP? Do you have the detailed excel sheet with these information?

Since CSP is not yet employed in my country, do you recommend to use these financial parameters in our case studies?

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

Yours Sincerely,
Weng Pin.

Hi Weng Pin,

The default inputs in SAM are intended to be a starting point for your analysis. You should review the inputs and make sure they are appropriate for your project.

For information about the default assumptions, see the relevant pages on the SAM website, for example, sam.nrel.gov/concentrating-solar-power/csp-cost-data.html .

Best regards,
Paul.
