More than one person lives in a building generally.
Gee, really? I never would have guessed /s
More seriously: It’s very quick to search “population of GA”, so that’s what I did. If you have a different figure you’d prefer to use, feel free to post it.
It’s more like $15,000 to install 1kW of solar
Uh, what? $15,000 = $15k which is what I wrote. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here.
No, order of magnitude is 10x off. You can’t massage the numbers enough to get there with any reasonable assumptions.
Obviously the average household size is not 10 people, but let’s be generous and say that it’s 5 people, so you’re looking at 2 million houses. Rooftop solar installation costs between $10k and $30k per building. Frankly, in this context, $15k is generously low as a cost estimate.
Also, go back and re-read my original comment in this thread. The context was the idea of spending $30 billion on installing solar panels everywhere instead of building the nuclear plant. Flippant, sure, but – actually, the numbers aren’t far off even with these sandpaper-rough estimates.

Ok, $15k x 10M is just an order of magnitude too high of an estimate is all. I was just adding more context.
