A university spent $1.3 million to install solar panels atop a parking garage. These panels will have a capacity of 300 kilowatts (kW) and have a life expectancy of 20 years. Suppose that the discount rate is 30%, that electricity can be purchased at $0.20 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), and that the marginal cost of electricity production using the solar panels is zero. Hint: It may be easier to think of the present value of operating the solar.
