Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $50,000,000

Based on the scope of the project, which involves designing, installing, and maintaining solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage systems across school district properties, the estimated budget could be in the range of $10 million to $50 million. This estimate is based on the average cost of similar projects, which can range from $2 to $5 per watt for solar PV systems and $200 to $500 per kilowatt-hour for battery energy storage systems. The district's objective of achieving cost savings and stability of long-term electrical rates also suggests that the budget could be significant. However, the actual budget will depend on various factors, including the specific requirements of the project, the technology used, and the contractor's pricing strategy.
