The northern part of the United States, as Figure 8.2
shows, has a yearly 24-hour average solar insolation that
is typical of the average value worldwide. Using this
worldwide average, consider the economics of a
photovoltaic installation. If the photovoltaic efficiency is
20% and a payback period of 3 years is expected
(exclusive of the cost recovery factor), what is the
maximum acceptable installation cost per W? Assume
electricity costs $0.10 per kWh.
