this is a question with several differant answers…..

depending on consuption if its going on a consuming structure co-generating

or a stand alone generation station. the most cost effective would be a hybrid

thermal/photovoltaic

the thermal would heat a closed contained liquid and make steam to turn large turbine.

0,000US will get u quite the little generator. ,000,000US u have a major player

my general rule is us per sq ft of heating/cooling space.

I am presently puting together the single largest solar project of its kind. entire subdivisions of low cost modular homes with the entire roof as the mini-generating station. so if u put up say 400 units. when this hole subdivision comes on line u have a major Generating Station.

maitaining a plant with no moving parts to wear-out, well except to send some one to clean the panels off once every 6 months wound not be much up-keep……

the panels have 20 to 25yr warrenties and 30yr life

some put up in the late 60′s r still generating.
