Costs and Financing
- Each house sold for an average of $380,000.
- Homeowners are receiving an average of $60 per month solar utility bill for heating.
- $7 million for the initial start up of the Drake Landing Solar Community project.
- If this project were repeated it would cost $4 million, as approximately $3 million was for one-time research and development.
- Optimal community size would be 200-300 homes to realize the economies of scale. The number of systems would remain the same but the number of boreholes would just need to increase.

Famous quotes containing the word costs:
“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
