Assumptions:600 MW Uplands wind system: (40 Years): $1,319,000 / MW base cost; transmission expenses, blade replacements; 20% Revenue Adder; Operation & Maintenance; land use leases; diverted state tax dollars, other payments to counties/municipalities and decommissioning costs. Distributed Solar Homes (40 Years): $2.50 /watt less .26, .52, .90 per watt Focus on Energy (FOE) incentives, 97% Efficiency; Electricity cost: .26 per kWh 40 year Average; Inflation Rate 2.5% per year; Owner Assumed Solar Costs per 5kW array: $11,000; $9,800; $8,000 and $12,500; Monthly savings include solar panel/installation costs.
