PROJECTED COST AND PROFITABILITY OF INVESTMENT INPHOTOVOLTAIC INSTALLATIONS ON AN AGRITOURISM FARM

Abstract

The article aims to present projected cost and profitability of investment in photovoltaicinstallations on an agritourism farm. Special attention is drawn to economic efficiency of a system ofphotovoltaic modules installed on an agritourism farm hosting a four-member tourist group and usinga photovoltaic system having a capacity of 5 kWp. It has also been assumed that the whole amount ofelectricity produced is used on the agritourism farm. The analysis results have taken into considerationthe assumption estimating the use of energy at the level of about 5,000 kWh per year. The annual energycost estimation is PLN 2,750 (5,000 kWh x PLN 0.55).
