(Total cost of install + total expected maintenance + fuel costs) / expected lifespan

Then divide that by kwh or mwh or GWh expected to be produced during that lifespan

The catch is that solar is outliving the expected lifespan estimated and warranty periods which means things still tilt towards legacy fuels (doesn't tip enough in their favor to make them less expensive though)
