AGRIVOLTAICS FINANCIAL MODEL | 30-YEAR PREMIUM EDITION

Dual-Revenue Solar & Farming • Project Finance • IRR • NPV • DSCR

TWO REVENUE STREAMS. ONE INTEGRATED INVESTMENT MODEL.

Transform solar generation, agricultural production and land-use assumptions into a structured 30-year financial outlook.

The Agrivoltaics Dual-Revenue Financial Model by SheetworksStudio connects electricity sales, crop economics, development costs, debt financing and investment returns in one professionally designed Excel workbook.

Built for renewable-energy developers, agricultural businesses, landowners, infrastructure investors and financial advisers, this premium model provides a transparent framework for evaluating agrivoltaic project feasibility and long-term financial performance.

Explore Integrated, Solar-only and Farming-only configurations, compare alternative scenarios and understand how project assumptions influence profitability, liquidity and investment value.

All demonstration inputs and financial results are fictional and illustrative.

▣ EXECUTIVE DASHBOARD & EIGHT DYNAMIC CHARTS

Turn complex project calculations into clear investment insights.

The dedicated Executive Dashboard features eight native, data-linked Excel charts:

• Solar Electricity Generation

• Solar vs Agricultural Revenue

• Crop Yield & Agricultural Income

• Solar, Farming & Integrated Contribution

• Development CAPEX Breakdown

• EBITDA vs Free Cash Flow

• Outstanding Debt & DSCR

• Indicative Scenario Investment Comparison

All charts connect to the model’s financial and operational calculations, with supporting data maintained on a hidden helper worksheet.

Review production, operating performance, capital requirements and financing risks through one coordinated visual interface.

☀ SOLAR GENERATION & ELECTRICITY REVENUE

Build a long-term solar power forecast using editable technical and commercial assumptions.

Key modeling drivers include:

✓ Installed solar capacity (MWp)

✓ DC/AC ratio and capacity factor

✓ Monthly generation seasonality

✓ System losses and availability

✓ Curtailment and annual degradation

✓ Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) pricing

✓ Merchant electricity sales

✓ On-site electricity consumption and value

Follow electricity generation from technical production through commercial allocation, revenue forecasting and project cash flow.

The model distinguishes PPA, merchant and self-consumption components to support transparent electricity revenue planning.

◈ AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION & LAND ECONOMICS

Understand the financial relationship between solar infrastructure and productive farmland.

Customize 15 illustrative field and crop records with:

• Land allocation and cultivated hectares

• Crop yields and selling prices

• Solar shading effects

• Irrigation and water consumption

• Agricultural inputs and labor

• Logistics and operating expenses

• Seasonal production and revenue

• Direct-farming or farm-lease arrangements

Evaluate how crop productivity, agricultural prices, water requirements and land-use choices influence farming contribution and integrated project economics.

Compare direct agricultural operations with alternative land-leasing structures.

▤ CAPITAL INVESTMENT & PROJECT FINANCING

Connect development expenditure with long-term funding requirements.

The integrated CAPEX framework covers solar equipment, elevated mounting structures, grid interconnection, agricultural machinery, irrigation systems, engineering, permitting, land acquisition and contingencies.

Dedicated financial schedules include:

✓ Project CAPEX and cost allocation

✓ Operating expenses and shared infrastructure costs

✓ Working capital requirements

✓ Debt drawdowns and outstanding balances

✓ Interest and principal repayments

✓ Debt service and reserve assumptions

✓ Sponsor equity and project cash flows

Assess how investment costs, leverage and financing terms affect liquidity, debt coverage and projected shareholder returns.

↗ THREE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS & INVESTMENT RETURNS

The model connects technical and commercial assumptions with annual financial reporting across 30 operating years.

PROFIT & LOSS — Revenue, operating costs, EBITDA, depreciation, interest, taxes and earnings.

BALANCE SHEET — Project assets, liabilities, debt, reserves and equity.

CASH FLOW — Operating cash generation, working capital, capital expenditure, financing movements and investor cash flows.

Key investment indicators include:

• Project Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

• Equity Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

• Project Net Present Value (NPV)

• Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)

• Simplified Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE)

• Equity Payback Period

• Total Project CAPEX

• Lifetime Revenue and Solar Generation

Investment results are assumption-driven estimates, not guaranteed returns or independently certified valuations.

◇ FIVE LIVE SCENARIOS & SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Explore how changing market, construction and agricultural conditions affect your project.

The workbook includes five selectable scenarios:

01 | BASE CASE — Central illustrative project assumptions.

02 | HIGHER ELECTRICITY PRICES — Evaluate stronger power-selling economics.

03 | LOWER AGRICULTURAL YIELD — Assess reduced crop production and farming income.

04 | INCREASED CONSTRUCTION COSTS — Explore higher CAPEX, financing pressure and delays.

05 | CLIMATE & WATER STRESS — Evaluate combined agricultural, irrigation and solar-production risks.

Selecting a scenario updates the connected operating and financial calculations.

A separate sensitivity worksheet provides indicative NPV comparisons. These are simplified approximations, not independently recalculated full project cases.

For detailed comparisons, activate each scenario individually and review its financial outputs.

✓ BUILT-IN MODEL CHECKS & TRANSPARENT INPUTS

The dedicated MODEL CHECKS worksheet supports structured financial and technical review.

Controls cover land allocation, solar generation, electricity reconciliation, capital allocation, operating periods, balance-sheet consistency, shared costs, debt amortization and crop-yield validation.

Clearly distinguished manual inputs, visible formulas and START HERE navigation make the workbook easier to understand and customize.

A passing model check confirms selected internal calculations—not guaranteed project feasibility or financing approval.
