Income Statement
The Income Statement provides an overview of revenues, costs, and profitability. Each revenue source and associated costs are explicitly modelled.
Revenue Streams
Selling Solar Panels
- Revenue = Units Sold × Average Selling Price.
- Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) = Units Sold × Cost Per Unit (manufacturing/procurement cost).
- Gross Profit = Revenue – COGS.
Selling Solar Storage and Batteries
- Revenue = Units Sold × Price Per Storage Unit.
- COGS = Units Sold × Unit Cost.
- Gross Profit = Revenue – COGS.
Selling EV Chargers
- Revenue = Units Sold × Average Selling Price (standard vs. premium options).
- COGS = Units Sold × Procurement/Production Cost.
- Gross Profit = Revenue – COGS.
Installation Services
- Residential Installation: Revenue = Number of Projects × Average Residential Project Value.
- Commercial Installation: Revenue = Number of Projects × Average Commercial Project Value.
- Direct Costs: Labor costs (technicians/installers), transportation, permits, and installation equipment.
- Gross Profit = Installation Revenue – Direct Costs.
Operating Expenses

Solar Energy Solutions Cash Flow Statement
The Cash Flow Statement tracks the company’s liquidity by showing cash inflows and outflows from operating, investing, and financing activities.
Operating Activities
Cash Inflows:
- Revenue from selling solar panels, storage units, EV chargers, and installations.
- Deposits/advances from customers for upcoming installations.
Cash Outflows:
- Direct Costs:
- Payments to suppliers for solar panels, batteries, and chargers.
- Labor wages for installations.
- Operating Expenses:

Net Cash from Operations = Total Inflows – Total Outflows from Operations.
Investing Activities
Capital Expenditures (CapEx):
- Investments in production equipment or factories.
- EV charger development costs or R&D infrastructure.
- Acquisition of new vehicles or machinery for installations.
Investments in Technology:
- Development of software platforms to support monitoring, customer interaction, etc.
Net Cash from Investing Activities = Total Proceeds from Sales of Assets – CapEx and Investments.
Financing Activities
Debt Financing:
- Loans raised to procure raw materials or fund R&D.
- Repayment of principal or interest.
Equity Financing:
- New equity issuances for expansion or working capital.
Net Cash from Financing Activities = Cash Inflows (loans/equity) – Cash Outflows (interest payments/repayment).
Net Change in Cash Position = Sum of Cash Flows from Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities.
Solar Energy Solutions Balance Sheet
The Balance Sheet provides a snapshot of the company’s financial position at a point in time, detailing assets, liabilities, and equity.
Assets
Current Assets:
- Cash: Closing cash position from the Cash Flow Statement.
- Accounts Receivable: Outstanding invoices for solar panels, installations, or service contracts.
- Inventory:
- Solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, and installation materials.
- Work-in-progress (unfinished residential/commercial projects).
- Prepaid Expenses: Deposits paid for permits, licenses, or bulk material orders.
Non-Current Assets:
- Fixed Assets: Machinery, vehicles, and tools for installation.
- Intangible Assets: Patents, software platforms, and R&D developments.
Liabilities
Current Liabilities:
- Accounts Payable: Amounts owed to suppliers for raw materials.
- Short-Term Loans/Debt: Working capital loans.
- Deferred Revenue: Advances received from customers for projects not yet completed.
Non-Current Liabilities:
- Long-term loans for R&D, factory setup, or EV charger design development.
Equity
