Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $15,000,000

The budget for this project can be estimated based on the cost of designing, installing, and maintaining the solar PV and battery energy storage systems over the 20-year contract period. The total cost will depend on various factors, including the size and complexity of the systems, the cost of materials and labor, and the financing terms. Assuming an average cost of $2.50 per watt for solar PV systems and $200 per kWh for battery energy storage systems, the total cost for a 1 MW solar PV system with 500 kWh of battery energy storage could be around $2.5 million for the solar PV system and $100,000 for the battery energy storage system, totaling $2.6 million. Over the 20-year contract period, the total budget could be around $10 million to $15 million, assuming an average annual payment of $500,000 to $750,000. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual budget could vary depending on various factors, including the actual cost of the systems, the financing terms, and the performance of the systems over time.
