In 2007, the camp installed the largest private non-profit solar power generator system in the state of California, a 270 kW system.

Georgia Power has a solar purchase program, SP-1, for up to 100 kW systems which pays 17 /kWh.

The company will pay up to 4.81 /kWh during the summer and 3.93 /kWh in the winter for excess generation from up to 100 kW systems.

The output of this 25.2 kW system can also be monitored online.

We have a 2.2kW system.

A 5 kW system, costing $17,500 after receiving a 30% federal tax credit, would produce about 6484 kWh/year, providing a rebate of approximately $9,726.

A 500 kW system is proposed for otherwise unusable land at the former Loring Air Force Base.

This is a 39 kW system designed to offset 13 percent of the school's energy cost.

On this basis payback for a 1 kW system costing $5,000 net (includes $8,000 federal rebate & 22 RECS) would be around 5 years.

A 2012 estimate suggests that a typical 5 kW system will pay for itself in about 9 years.
