About REICAL
REICAL: Renewable Energy Investment Calculator
REICAL is developed by Experts for Integrated Solutions Ltd. Co. for investment feasibility analysis of various types of renewable energy (RE) systems, such us: solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, etc.
REICAL can be used to analyse wide range of RE system capacities range from small-scale off-grid/on-grid residential energy systems up to utility scale power plants.
Furthermore, REICAL can be used to analyse the economic feasibility of conventional energy systems that use fossil fuel (oil or gas). It also can be implicitly used to analyse the feasibility of other types of investments.
With REICAL, a number of explicit and implicit technical, financial, and administrative parameters can be analysed. These parameters cover:
- Capital expenditures (CAPEX)
- Operating expenditures (OPEX)
- Financial expenditures (FINEX)
- Administration expenditures (ADMINEX)
- The amount of energy production
REICAL calculates twenty-five technical and financial parameters including the main five investment feasibility indices, which include:
- Net Present Value (NPV)
- Internal Return of Rate (IRR)
- Return on Investment (RoI)
- Profitability Index (PI)
- Payback Period (PP)
The above indices can be calculated for different technical, financing, and administrating scenarios and choose the best.
REICAL enables investors to investigate different debt financing (loan) scenarios, e.g., equity and debt percentages, loan duration, interest rate, loan model (e.g., fixed instalment or principal), loan compound and payment plans (e.g., monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, etc.). The loan results are presents in tables and graphs. So that stakeholders may then select the most suitable financing scenario for their capital investment. Analysing the performance of the investment thoroughly enables investors to make well-grounded investment decisions.
REICAL uses an Interactive User Interface (UI) that makes it easy to use. It uses a standard icon functions representation as well as a menu strip tool. Full description of all icons and menu strip tool commands are explained in REICAL User Manual.
