MACHVISION is committed to energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and resource optimization. By adopting innovative technologies and developing high-performance, energy-saving equipment, we reduce environmental impact and move toward a net-zero future. Working with our supply chain partners, we advance sustainability together and protect our planet for the generations to come.
The internal Shadow Carbon Price (SCP) adopted by Machvision serves as a core tool for evaluating the investment feasibility of a 60kW rooftop solar PV project.
The assessment covers:
-
Capital expenditure (CAPEX)
-
Annual operating expenditure (OPEX)
-
Electricity cost savings from Taipower
-
T-REC benefits
-
SCP benefits
-
Financial indicators such as IRR, NPV, and payback period
-
Policy and carbon price scenarios for 2025–2027
Overall Findings:
The project demonstrates solid fundamentals, with a payback period of approximately 4.6–7.6 years (depending on whether T-REC benefits are included), and offers significant long-term benefits. However, due to its relatively small generation capacity, the financial incentives are limited compared with the company’s core business operations.
In terms of short-term benefits, the project does not present a compelling case for installation before 2027. The absolute carbon reduction impact is also limited. If the objective is to contribute more meaningfully to environmental sustainability, more cost-effective alternatives—such as purchasing renewable energy certificates—are available.
Recommendations:
-
Prioritize green electricity procurement (T-REC) before 2027.
-
Continue monitoring developments in the carbon fee system and potential CAPEX reductions.
-
Reassess after 2027 based on changes in SCP, T-REC pricing, and electricity tariffs.
