So the preliminary report from a TC3 superintendant on their solar farm states
"The 2,000 kW solar farm is constructed on about 10 acres of land. From what I was able to obtain from the owner the construction cost was a bit over $5,000,000. It produces about 2,750,000 kWh per year. It is remotely metered by the owner, NextEra energy but it is not a public site."
.
So roughly $2.50/W installed capacity running at 15.7%
.
$0.165/kWh over 30 years.
.
And this is without any continuing operation and management costs.
.
And no storage which would more than double the price for just 18 hours of battery storage.
.
Solar PV is very expensive and is not what the trade magazines are misleading us to believe.
