| Assumptions about mortgage amount and interest rates are detailed in the Mortgage tab. | |||||||||||
| In this analysis, the cash flow from the PV and meter is used at the end of the year to pay down the mortgage faster. | |||||||||||
| Or in case of negative cash flow, added to the loan as if on a HELOC with the same interest rate as the main loan. | |||||||||||
| In reality, the interest rate on our HELOC was lower than that of the main loan. | |||||||||||
| Numbers in blue represent assumption that future year savings will be same as current year savings. | |||||||||||
| Negative cash flow in the first year is caused by installation time, i.e. the couple of months after we got the loan but before the PV was online. | |||||||||||
| Not being on the Time-of-Use billing schedule yet also had a negative effect. | |||||||||||
| Negative cash flow in the second year is caused by my not recognizing for a few months that one of our three inverters had stopped working. | |||||||||||
