In a sunny climate like the mountains of New Mexico this thing will make around 250 kwh a day and at ten cents each that means about $25 a day worth of electricity. And figuring 300 days a year of good sunshine, that comes to about $7500 per year or less than six years pay back on the machine. All a person has to do is find a use for $25 a day worth of electricity. I can think of a few.
