Does the BEopt model take into account solar degradation (i.e. 0.5%)? Is the solar PV energy production stated in the outputs year one production or average production over the project analysis period?
 
Thanks!

No, BEopt does not currently take into account PV degradation over time. PV production over the analysis period is the same for every year.
