Solar Radiation in Gary Indiana is about 2.5 kWh per square metre per day. Solar power systems can last 30 years. For a 1 kW solar system about 25230 kWh will be generated over its lifetime.

Variable include cost of solar installation and cost of electricity from the grid.

Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?

There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
