NPV Approximation using Annuities

Annuities, Capital Recovery Factor (CRF) = 0.0948 Investment = Installed Cost - Debt Principal - IBI - CBI
Investment $0 Sum: Expenses = Operating Costs + Debt Payments
Expenses $-500 $100 Savings = Tax Deductions + PBI
Savings $200 NPV = Sum / CRF: Energy value = Tax Adjusted Net Savings
Energy value $300 $1,000 Nominal discount rate = 8.1375%
