System Advisor Model (SAM)
Photovoltaic systems, from small residential rooftops to large utility-scale systems. Concentrating Solar Power systems for electric power generation, including parabolic trough, power tower, and linear Fresnel. Power purchase agreement (PPA) projects where the system is connected to the grid at an interconnection point, and the project earns revenue through power sales. The project may be owned and operated by a single owner or by a partnership involving a flip or leaseback arrangement. Third-party ownership is where the system is installed on the customer's (host) property and owned by a separate entity (developer), and the host is compensated for power generated by the system through either a PPA or lease agreement.
