I'm working on a Solar Water Heating System for a client in US. During financial analysis, I found that the annual escalation charges associated with (1) annual fixed cost $/yr, (2) Fixed cost by capacity $/kW-yr and (3) Variable cost by generation $/MWh are shown 0%.

But actually they are 2.5% each. Please correct this minor issue. If I put the annual escalation 2% then it is treated as 4.5% in the results. I have observed this behavior during my financial analysis.

Hi Hamza,

The 2.5% increase is due to the inflation rate on the Financial Parameters page. Note the explanation on the Operating Costs page:

Best regards,
Paul.
