I think the case causes quite some confusion throughout the process. 

It does not became clear that we use solar panels for storage etc. I did ask my interviewer about it and he could not give me the answer I would have needed to get to 32. 

 

In the results of the cost comparison, it says it is not recommended to install a plant  and the investment of 960.000Eur/year are not considering the amortisation over 10 years. If you do spread the investment over 10years, the yearly costs should be lower than the energy grid. 
Can you please explain why not a solar plant?

I want to be notified about updates regarding this question via email

Hi Gloria, 

I don´t have the answer, but having a diagonal read + reading other threads about this case, you can really see tht most poeple seem confused and in discomfort. There is little text and misleading. 

I would honestly move on to others that have a high rate, and even better coach ones (since if you have some questions, you can reach out directly, and we will be happy to help). 

Here I leave you mine in the PrepL Library, do reach out with any doubts ofc!

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi Gloria!

Your comment here is similar to a comment on another case…and both of those cases are rated at less than 3 stars!

Of course the case isn't good, that's why it's so poorly rated :)

I suggest you work on cases with higher star ratings to avoid this problem in the future!
