OTOH, the solar plant has no ongoing fuel cost. Big capital investment but possibly considerably lower operating costs. Although I’m not sure how maintenance and cleaning figure into this.

I’ve seen some figures on maintenance costs. Most of them seem to rely on a 30-40 life span for the solar panels.

Nothing lasts 30-40 years exposed to the Florida sun and weather.
