Well-placed solar plants have capacity factors of about 20%, so 10MWh. That's worth about $1200 at the retail end of the grid (or $2600 if your local utility has gone bankrupt). At the production end, it costs anywhere from $100 for fully depreciated hydro[1] to $1400 for solar PPAs made by bankrupt utilities[2] to $600 for new solar when you assume an unrealistic cap factor and ignore Chinese subsidies[3] to $240 if you ignore a whole bunch of additional stuff.[4] 1 https://www.eia.gov/electricity/annual/html/epa_08_04.html https://www.eia.gov/electricity/annual/html/epa_08_04.html 2 https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/trending/r3wsfcG5olaZwvNUizePeQ2 https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights... 3 https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/archive/aeo18/pdf/electricity_generation.pdf https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/archive/aeo18/pdf/electricity_g... 4 https://www.utilitydive.com/news/nv-energy-23-cent-solar-contract-could-set-new-price-record/525610/ https://www.utilitydive.com/news/nv-energy-23-cent-solar-con...
