“announced plans Monday for the $1.35 million effort”

“The system is the equivalent of 50 solar-powered”

This works out to $ 27,000 per home. Is my math correct?

Seems pretty expensive to me.

That’s about right: IF you pay the solar power cells, backup power regulators, batteries, hookup and frames and foundations and wires and grounds and all of the “stuff” that is actually required....

You’ll need around 18,000.00 to 23,000.00 per house.

IF you have no trees or other interferences that will block the sun anytime from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm local sun time. (You only get useable sunshine 6 hours a day. the rest of the time you must use the grid, or use expensive and very, very dangerous batteries.)

Now, at a usual bill of 200.00 - 300.00 a month in electricity for A/C, how long will it take an average household to “pay” for the 22,000.00 it takes to install the solar panels and converters and controlelrs?
