    On a cloud-free day with ideal sun angles, that’s a theoretical max of 60MWh/day. Just to be conservative, let’s go with half that on average over the year. That’s ~11TWh/year. Yeah, that should handle a couple of large amusement parks.

          If it made financial sense, any bank would give a loan for a project whose generation offset a greater cost than the monthly payment. Assuming decent business history.

          The companies that sell these projects likely partner with some financial institutions to offer loans.

          So I don’t think this is a liquidity issue.
