To determine when an investor will break even with this model—where they receive 20% of the annual revenue—it’s crucial to calculate the cumulative returns from their investment each year. We’ll assume the investor’s initial contribution is proportionate to the total initial investment required for the project.

===== 1. Calculate Total Initial Investment: $463 billion for setting up the initial 40 km x 40 km solar farm. =====
# Determine Investor's Share: Calculate the 20% share of annual revenue distributed to investors each year.
# Cumulative Return Calculation: Compute the cumulative returns for each year and compare them with the initial investment.
# Identify Break-Even Year: Determine the year in which the cumulative returns equal or exceed the initial investment.

===== Let’s review the yearly revenue and calculate the 20% share distributed to investors. We’ll then sum these distributions to find out the cumulative returns year by year. =====

====== We’ll use the revenue figures derived from our earlier calculations: ======

|     |     |     |     |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     |

===== From the table above, we can see how the cumulative returns to investors grow over the years: =====
* By Year 4: Investors receive a cumulative return of $113.07 billion.
* By Year 5: The cumulative return is $149.91 billion.
* By Year 6: The cumulative return reaches $193.49 billion.
* By Year 7: Investors see $244.96 billion in cumulative returns.
* By Year 8: The cumulative return is $305.67 billion.
* By Year 9: The cumulative return reaches $377.18 billion.
* By Year 10: The cumulative return is $461.32 billion.

===== An investor breaks even when their cumulative returns equal the initial investment. Here, the initial investment was $463 billion. =====
* Break-Even Point: At Year 10, the cumulative returns to investors are $461.32 billion, just shy of the total initial investment.
* Nearly Break-Even by Year 9: By Year 9, investors recover $377.18 billion, which is close but still short of the full $463 billion.

Thus, the break-even point for investors, given the 20% revenue share model and no further investments after the initial one, occurs just after 10 years.

===== - Attractive Investment: This model is highly attractive for investors, promising near break-even within 10 years, which is excellent for such a capital-intensive field. =====
* Sustainable Growth: The 80% reinvestment strategy leads to significant growth in capacity and revenue, making the project sustainable and increasingly profitable over time.
* Long-Term Benefits: After breaking even, investors continue to gain substantial returns as the company expands and generates more revenue.

This model aligns well with the goal of sustainable expansion and provides a compelling return on investment in the solar energy sector.
