Hello, I am currently using PySAM with different financial models for the Detailed PV Model system.
When running simulations in the SAM GUI, I would get the NPV value for the simulation for any financial model I would want to use. In PySAM however, this is not the case for every financial model.
For the Cashloan, Thirdpartyownership, and HostDeveloper modules, they have output variable called "npv" which has this value. However, most other models like Merchantplant, Singleowner, etc, do not have this variable and instead of have multiple npv variables for different calculations of the npv.
For consistency, I am trying to figure out the equivalent variable for the "npv" variable in Cashloan, Thirdpartyownership, and HostDeveloper modules to the other modules which do not have this variable: Singleowner, Merchantplant, Levpartflip, Equpartflip, and Saleleaseback.
I am not too familiar with the npv calculations so any help is appreciated. Thank you!
For reference, this is relation to a program myself and my team built for doing detailed simulations using SAM:
