Note: these costs do NOT allow for cost of grid connection, or the cost to upgrade the grid to connect variable frequency generators including frequency control measures and thermal back up generators.
Capex of Retrofit

retrofit G (650kWh/m²/y) to B3 (150kWh/m²/y)
Delta 500 kWh/m²/yr savings
retrofit G (650kWh/m²/y) to B3 (150kWh/m²/y)
Delta 500 kWh/m²/yr savings
Note: Retrofit avoids and in fact reduces grid infrastructure costs.
