Summary
Cash-flow analysis over the full service life of a 100 MW floating solar chimney power plant, with sensitivity tests on cost, subsidy, loan, tax and carbon-credit factors. Under incentives such as 2% loans and tax exemption, an 8% return needs an electricity price of about 0.83 yuan/kWh. The floating design comes out cheaper than both concrete-tower solar chimneys and photovoltaic plants of the same capacity.
