However, back in August the Northern Times said the project would cost $50 million. Hopefully they actually have managed to get the total projected price down to $38 million, or $1.27 a watt, which is a surprisingly low number. It’s less than half the current average cost of rooftop solar and our one and only existing solar farm is rather special in that it managed to cost about two thirds more per watt than rooftop solar.
