Solar PVC Growth from One Time Investment: A Monte Carlo Analysis Shiny App
Imagine you bought solar PVC arrays today, sold the power generated to your local utility, and used the proceeds to add new solar arrays each year. What generating capacity would you expect in 100 years? What would be the impact of uncertainties in inflation and power generation? I've been obsessed with this idea for a while. I developed a new Shiny App available here to help play around with these questions.
There is a link in the app to obtain the R script. Since this is not my area, I am hoping that people with domain specific knowledge will tinker and improve.
Opportunities for Improvement There are several areas where I think some improvement is possible. The app assumes a uniform distribution (defined by the user) of annual power generation over the 100 years.
