Price of 5000W solar energy
240KW/400KW industrial rooftop - commercial rooftop - home rooftop, solar power generation system.
Solar energy produced over 20 years: 5kW x 5.62kWh of sun daily x 365 days x 20 years x 80% efficiency = 164,000kWh. Cost of the system divided by solar energy produced: $14,500 / 164,000kWh = 9¢/kWh. For simplicity''s sake, we have excluded ''annual degradation'' and ''SREC benefit'' from our calculations in the Los Angeles example above.
