For those interested in the numbers:
$200,000,000 to install 12,500 PV arrays, at a expected cost of $16,000 per array all inclusive.
The 12,500 arrays will power 500,000 households consisting of 2 million people.
Therefore 160 people will be using each $16,000 array.
- LAMike 13y agoFree electricity for life for only $100 per head? Sounds like a good deal to me
- aleem 13y agoNot free for life. The energy is stored in a battery which needs to be replaced every few years. The batteries aren't cheap either.

Until at 10 years old, in pretty much perfect health according to the installer and maintainer, the house sitter runs them completely flat. Then continues to use them each time they charge 1%, flattening them again and again. Then they are no longer any good. That was a $10-20k NZ exercise
