Solar modules + inverters are about 40c a nameplate watt (or $1.60 per net watt in good conditions). The land, installation and maintenance roughly adds half to as much again. Onshore wind is about the same TCO. More up front cost for the turbine and construction at around $1-1.3 per nameplate watt. Offshore is about double. Wind has substantial advantages in terms of being uncorrellated with other wind and anti-correllated with solar.
