● Average electricity used at san marin-52,531kwh per month, 1751 kwh per day 
● We would need 1460 solar panels 
● Sun Power solar panels- 18 square feet 
● They would take up 26280 ft in total 
● 15768 ft for 876 panels south, 5256 ft for 292 panels west, 5256 ft for 292 panels 
east 
● 60% solar panels facing south, 20% facing west, 20% facing east 
● Solar panels would cost 2.5 billion to 3.5 billion 
● Energy stored in 3 35kwh lithium ion tesla batteries 
● $5250 per battery, $15750 total 
● The electricity will be transferred through underground wires 
● Capstone C65 Microturbine for winter/cloudy days:  
● $195,000
