|`Investment Tax Credit Rate`| Incentives → Investment Tax Credit (ITC) |`Federal` → `Percentage (%)`|`Singleowner`|`itc_fed_percent`| Note that unlike the BICYCLE Economic Model's `Total capital costs`, SAM Economic Model's `Total CAPEX` is the total installed cost and does not subtract ITC value (if present). |
|`Production Tax Credit Inflation Adjusted`, `Inflation Rate`| Incentives → Production Tax Credit (PTC) |`Federal` → `Escalation (%/yr)`|`Singleowner`|`ptc_fed_escal`| If `Production Tax Credit Inflation Adjusted` = True, GEOPHIRES set's SAM's PTC escalation rate to the inflation rate. SAM applies the escalation rate to years 2 and later of the project cash flow. Note that this produces escalation rates that are similar to inflation-adjusted equivalents, but not exactly equal. |
