SO it is bigger then the one in the article.

“Owned by BP Solar and Met Life, the LISF installation is part of the largest solar energy project in the state of New York, the largest photovoltaic array in the eastern U.S., and among the largest in the nation constructed on federal property”

So on the basis of this projects costs ($50 million, mentioned in video) a 5GW projection should cost, caveat emptor, about

= 50 * 5/12.5 = $20 million.
