They said their system can produce enough electricity for 200 homes, I am guessing a average home electric bill a month now a days about $ 500 ?
I can only guess the electric company pays them for their energy produced, so ? they could be bring in about $ 20,000 a month from those homes.
In 5 months, they have $100,000, I am guessing this system will pay for it self in about 2 to 3 years.

All this sounds fantastic. But they are selling it to the power company so I doubt they’d get full retail price. The power company should still get a cut for receiving the power from the dairy and distributing it over their power grid to customers.

Time to do the math. 4000 kilowatt hours a day at $0.05 kWh. That is $200 a day times 365 equals $73000 a year. That would take 13.7 years based on $0.05 per kWh. There is also the $4000 savings each month on bedding. So now we have $113000 in income or cost avoidance each year. That brings us to 8.85 years to recover $1,000,000. Return on investment 11.3%. Do your investments do that good?
