Congrats on taking the lead, Minnesota. Please follow up on story, telling us about maintenance, cost efficiency and so on.

This is a $1 million dollar grand from DoE and $1 million dollars in matching funds from St. Paul. What exactly does 1 megawatt of energy mean? Is that 1MW over a year, or 1MW/hour? I think it’s 1 megawatt per year because these aren’t 6.9Kwh panels, or they’d be 40x the cost.

In comparison, for $2 million, you could buy 50,000 Megawatts of power at $.04 per kwh. But hey, that’s being “green”.

Nevermind that it snows for 6 months a year in Minnesota. Pretty hard to generate power from the sun under 20″ of snow.
