Impact Analysis
Financial Impact: The project is expected to reduce our energy bills by approximately $30,000 annually, leading to a breakeven point in less than 8 years. The solar panels have a life expectancy of 20 years, providing long-term financial benefits.
Budgetary Impact: This project will require a reallocation of funds from our annual facilities maintenance budget and capital investments. The initial cost exceeds the current budget allocation by $50,000.
Risk Assessment: The primary financial risk involves potential delays in installation leading to increased labor costs. There's also a minor risk of equipment costs varying due to market fluctuations.
Recommendations
Given the long-term cost savings and alignment with our sustainability goals, it is recommended to proceed with the project. Exploring options for budget reallocation or additional funding sources for the excess $50,000 is suggested.
