Has anyone seen the payback analysis for this installation? In other words, how many years will it take to save enough money by not purchasing commercial electrical power to offset the cost of the panels, associated equipment, and installation? Since Georgetown is purchasing electricity for on the order of 5 cents/KWhr, it is likely to take a very long time if based on the electricity used by the Service Center alone. If there is excess electricity generated and dumped into the Georgetown grid, how much will the City save annually by fore going the purchase of electricity from commercial providers?
This kind of analysis ought to be routinely available to Georgetown citizens and in fact should be done prior to any committment of capital resources to aid in decision making by the City Council.
