NOTE

Value Assessment in Renewable Energy Development

The value assessment in renewable energy development varies based on factors like land use and time savings. Factors such as land sparing and the type of land being developed play a crucial role in determining the value of a renewable energy project. Additionally, the time saved in project completion, even if the total solar capacity remains the same, carries significant value. In the context of the United States, the cost of building utility-scale solar projects differs greatly from rooftop solar projects due to various factors, resulting in a higher cost per watt for distributed solar projects in comparison to utility-scale solar projects.
