Includes bibliographical references (p. 33-37). Due to the relative immaturity of the solar farm industry, there are very few comprehensive financial models in use. I address this by developing a photovoltaic NPV financial model and apply the model to various base cases and current and future economic situations in Southern California to determine the viability of solar farms as a renewable energy source. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the need for increased incentives and improved policy guidelines in order to encourage the investment in additional highly desirable renewable solar energy projects. by Brad Dietz.
