Looking at those figures, if you had 40% efficiency for your cells, not figuring in the maintenance costs, you would get 3.75 times the power for less than 1/4 the initial cost of building the plant as compared to two nuclear plants. Providing it costs about the same to build as the solar plant being proposed. I wonder what the cost of maintenance for a solar array of that size would be??. I would imagine it'd run to a few million dollars a year.
