I'm almost certain the study will show a net expense, not a net savings. Solar power is expensive, and does not work well in northern Utah's climate. A typical homeowner in California--where there is more sunshine--can expect solar panels to pay themselves off in about 25 years. A government building uses a lot more electricity than a home, and so needs many more photovoltaic cells, and more expense.

Actually, factmonger, you need to get updated on your facts. Homeowners and business in CA, and as far north as OR are SAVING money by investing in PV solar panels. They can have a payback as short as 6 or 7 years.
