A 100 kW solar array located in Cheney, WA is estimated to produce 126,000 kWh. Assuming electricity produced from the solar is free ($0.00 / kWh), how much would the building save on annual electricity costs?
Suppose you use 60 kWh (kilowatt hours) of electricity at $0.31 per kWH, 96 kWh at $0.27 per kWh, and 87 kWH at $0.22 per kWh.
What is your total kHW of electricity used?
What is another example of how a turbine and generator set up is used to generate electricity and how does that work?
