Solar House Case Study

Note no Quantitative Analysis needs to be done – all questions can be answered from just reading the case.

Questions for Writeup

1) Give a brief overview (one paragraph) of the NPV model used, what variables were included, etc. Are the results surprising?

2) How do residential solar panel systems compare financially to grid electricity? Under what assumptions are they cheaper?

3) If we care about air emissions, how does solar compare to grid electricity when we think about external costs?
