“…In this case, the development and application of the FIT policy framework were not compatible with Malawi's national, local, fiscal and socio-economic policies. The obtained results forced a review of economic policy in terms of increasing investments in solar energy in the country [32]. Remaining in Africa, a cost-benefit analysis of an energy-efficiency photovoltaic system showed that despite an incremental initial cost of PLN 36,560, the total annual and revenue savings were PLN 15,312, with simple and capital payback periods of 6.8 years and 3, respectively, and 7 years, with annual life cycle cost savings of PLN 4989 [38].…”

“…Therefore, there is a need for software tools that are able to determine the potential energy output characteristics and operational efficiency of photovoltaic systems. This will help to compare the efficiency and cost of energy production in different system configurations [32]. For Korea, measurement and verification (M&V) analysis using RETScreen Expert was used in search of answers to the problem of reducing the cost of energy loss from old residential buildings.…”

Solar energy is a source of energy that can meet a significant part of the demand for heat and electricity. However, its acquisition is associated with high variability both during the year and on individual days. The construction of installations due to changes in tariff systems, investment costs and subsidy programs raises doubts as to their profitability. The aim of this study was to assess the profitability of photovoltaic investments for households, considering public financial support. This study used RetScreen Expert software 8.1.2.13 to perform the entire analysis and performance cost, risk and sensitivity simulations. Climate data were imported from ground monitoring stations or from NASA global satellite or analytical data. The conducted research showed the profitability of investments in photovoltaics, even without state support. Differences between regions were insignificant. However, the support system has changed, extending the period of return on investment.
