The next time someone tells you solar is too expensive, send them here (PDF).
It’s a contract PG&E signed for a 230 MW solar photovoltaic project, delivering 592 GWh/year. That’s a lot. But the best part? Look at the chart on the bottom of page 3. It won’t tell you the price exactly, but it’s below 13 cents/kWh—which is the proxy price for a combined cycle gas turbine.
Solar cheaper than the fossil fuel alternative.
