Accounts
This page lists every financial account in the Tensor Cloud chart of accounts, grouped by account type and category.
Account structure overview
The chart of accounts has five main categories.
Assets
- Current assets: cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, and other short-term assets
- Non-current assets: property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), intangible assets, and long-term receivables
Liabilities
- Current liabilities: short-term payables, accrued expenses, and the current portion of debt
- Non-current liabilities: long-term debt, lease liabilities, and asset retirement obligations (ARO)
Asset retirement obligations explains how the ARO accounts are populated over an asset's life.
Equity
- Paid-in capital
- Retained earnings
- Reserves
- Distributions
Revenue
- Operating revenues: FIT, FIP, PPA, market revenues, and certificates
- Non-operating income: subsidies, interest income, and disposal gains
Expenses
- Operating expenses: depreciation, O&M, insurance, and market fees
- Cost of sales: electricity costs
- Non-operating expenses: interest, taxes, and disposal losses
Asset vs SPV level
Each account belongs to one of two levels:
- Asset level: accounts for an individual renewable energy project, such as a solar plant or a battery
- SPV level: accounts for the special purpose vehicle that owns one or more assets
This split lets you analyze each project on its own while keeping the corporate accounts at the SPV.
Account code structure
The first digit of an account code gives the account type:
- 1xxx: Assets, the resources owned by the project or SPV
- 2xxx: Liabilities, the debts and other obligations owed
- 3xxx: Equity, the ownership interest and retained earnings
- 4xxx: Revenue from operations and other sources
- 5xxx: Expenses incurred in operations
The remaining digits narrow the category further. For example:
- 1000-1499: Current assets (expected to turn into cash within one year)
- 1500-1899: Non-current assets (long-term assets and property, plant, and equipment)
- 2000-2399: Current liabilities (due within one year)
- 2400-2799: Non-current liabilities (long-term obligations)
The accumulated depreciation accounts 2501-2520 are the exception: their codes start with 2, but they are contra-asset accounts and belong to non-current assets, not liabilities.
