Aloha,
...and a sunny 12 hour day of full production,
This is completely unrealistic globally.
A more reasonable scenario of 6-8 hours of sun for only part of the
year still looks really good financially.
This is realistic for a fair portion of the Southwest in the USA - for
spring through fall only, not for winter (Nov-Jan). Not realistic for
anywhere else in North America except some areas in summer only.
cheers,
John S.
