Formula: TCO = Equipment + Installation + Electricity + Maintenance + Battery Replacement − Energy Savings. An estimation model — excludes discount rates, taxes, currency swings and extreme-weather reserves. For tenders, confirm with a site survey.
Assumptions: LiFePO4 battery (8–10 year cycle life) · MPPT controller, 3-day autonomy · Electricity escalation 3%/yr · Grid trenching $15–50/ft, varies by terrain · Undiscounted, rounded figures for early-stage screening.
Send us your project parameters (pole count / country / road type / grid or off-grid) and we will return a TCO table you can put straight into a bid, plus a recommended configuration — within 24 hours.
