Typical commercial solar energy systems is described, outlining typical cost and performance levels. The economic performance of solar energy systems are described through the use of Cash Flow Diagrams. These diagrams indicate the cumulative cash situation of a solar investment over the life of the investment. The economic performance of solar energy systems is described through the calculation of equivalent Return-on-Investment (ROI). Appendices are included that enable one to calculate the ROI for any particular solar energy system investment. (MHR)
