$1.8B / 5MM = $360 per panel. That includes frames, land, infrastructure and most importantly, connection to the grid, which itself was significantly upgraded in late 1990's early 2000's to support the construction of gas fired turbine facilities (which use ALOT of water for cooling).
$360 per panel is very reasonable.
With PPG is buying all of its capacity, it appears this is a solution that works.
Is my math right tho'? 290MW is roughly 58 Watts per panel. Aren't these things capable of 300+ watts or more?
edit: changed $1.6B to $1.8B
- sitkack 12y agoI am guessing that the plant actually has double its rated capacity, so something like 600MW in panels.
