How PV8 computes its numbers
Every engine computes deterministically from labelled assumptions. These versioned notes state the method, the data sources and where each screen stops being reliable.
Value of replacing era-vintage modules/inverters with current technology inside the existing footprint and grid connection.
What the existing connection is worth: published headroom nearby, flexibility products, and the evidence trail for an operator conversation.
Nearby offtakers that could take power over a private wire, screened for load match and route economics.
The land under and around the plant priced against country benchmarks, lease bands and transaction costs.
A compute load hosted behind the existing connection, sized against the PV it would displace.
Charging demand the location can capture, priced against the PV supply and grid import mix.
Wind capacity added behind the same connection to fill night and winter export.
A second harvest on the same hectares — crop fit, light sharing and lease/operating economics.
Water-linked value routes for the site — irrigation supply, treatment loads, storage synergies.
Component-level end-of-life value and circularity routes: reuse, recycling, residual provisions.
Screening methodology — not engineering, legal or investment advice. PV8.ai
