  1. A real discount rate of 2.5% and a 25-year PV lifetime were considered
  2. aThe discounted payback time (DPBT) will differ regarding the hourly cycle chosen by the participant, but the same optimal PV system sizing was found to be the same. The DPBTs shown are the minimum of the possible cycles
