Summary
Solar Energy Costs: According to Lazard's Levelized Cost of Energy report, unsubsidized utility-scale solar energy costs range from $0.038 to $0.078 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). With federal subsidies, this can drop to as low as $0.02 per kWh.
Traditional Energy Costs: In comparison, new natural gas peaker plants cost between $0.138 to $0.262 per kWh, making solar significantly cheaper even before subsidies are considered.
Other Renewable Sources: Onshore wind energy costs range from $0.037 to $0.086 per kWh, which is competitive with solar, especially in regions with strong wind resources.
Thus in all, Solar energy would be the most beneficial, cost efficient, and most compatiable addition to the current energy sources of the town.
Economic effects
Solar energy significantly impacts the economy by creating jobs, reducing energy costs, and promoting local development, while also contributing to environmental sustainability.

Introduction
San Francisco Bay Peninsula needs a new source of Energy, and Solar energy would be the most beneficial to the town.
The Science of solar energy
the sunlight is converted into energy via Photovoltaic (PV), devices, which are also called solar cells, to bring power to many things. These Photovoltaic devices can also be increased in size to become panels, which can be used to power an entire home.
Fun Fact
San Francisco, Bay Area receives an annual average of approximately 3,058 to 3,062 hours of sunshine per year. This translates to about 249 sunny days, and in comparison to many other regions, especially those in the states that could average less than 2300 hours of sunlight, that is very good!
