The monthly JPS ‘bill is $75,000 and is expected to rise by 4% annually.

The battery life of the system is 5 years but with the development in technology, it would be extended to 8 years with a corresponding 3% increase in efficiency. The current price of the battery is $790,000 but the next generation is expected to be $600,000, after the 5 years. The reduction in price is expected to be 1% over the subsequent 15 years. Calculate to advise John Ltd. the savings if any, to be realized over the 20 years of investment in the solar system.
