At this geographic location, in order to generate 10,000 kW of electricity per year, you would need a 8 kW photovoltaic system installed.

Cost Analysis
Using a typical photovoltaic installed cost of $7.50/Watt (this cost can vary depending on many variables specific to your site), the total installed cost of this system should be approximately $60,000.00.
