When photovoltaic (PV) projects are developed and constructed for investment purposes, financing from professional investors and banks are required, and financial models are developed that describe the expected cash-flow generated by the PV plant over the economic lifetime of the project. The calculation is based on models that require both technical and financial inputs. In this paper we will review and analyse the technical assumptions in these models and discuss how the technical assumptions are typically used and to what extent the uncertainty related to the input parameters are appropriately addressed. Finally, a calculation and visualisation method is presented that highlights the nature and effect of this uncertainty.
