+====== Business Plan ======
+  Sol-Air lol
+  Solis Aer  (latin for Sun / Air ) (or Aeris is technically air too i think )
+  Solis Vim Aeris (sun air force)
+    * already exists :  [[https://www.sol-air.com/]] (but is not an airplane thing)
+  * Buy a couple [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bye_Aerospace_eFlyer_2|eFlyer 2]] airplanes and let Brett Aviation use them for training
+  * Build/buy a hangar to keep them all under one roof
+  * Install solar panels and Tesla power walls so the flying energy is 100% green
+  * Charge $42/hour to rent the plane (or lower if you could, but 42 is a good number (tach time instead of hobbs, only pay when using engine?))
+    * Ops cost on Bye website says $23/hour is overall total operations cost so more like $35 or $42 / hr
+Could also start without solar panels and have 3 airplanes lol.
+  * 2 planes is 1,000,000  (90kwhr each)
+  * 2 hangars is $1000/mo
+  * 12 tesla power walls $20k (13.5kwh each, $10k each) $120,000
+  * 360kwh
+  * 100kw solar panels (cost per watt $2.75)  $275,000 4 hours / day average of sun for panels
+  * roughly 15 hours of flight time from solar (could use more from wall)
+  * $1.5 million dollars gets you 2 planes, and 15 hours of flight time per day from solar (or just pay per kwhr, coal plant is right across the water lol)
+  * Payment on 20 years is $6500/mo + hangar + insurance (say $9000 / mo)
+    * 100% usage is 11,250 / mo (at $25/hr)
+    * 75%  usage is  8,437 / mo (at $25/hr)
+    * 50%  usage is  5,625 / mo (at $25/hr) <- under water but maybe?  could just raise the rate a bit ($30?)
+  * just 2 planes is $1m dollars
+    * $4500 / mo ?
+    * $25/hr seems a good place to start is a nice round number and 1/4 of 152  or do you do $35 ?
+    * [[https://byeaerospace.com/electric-airplane/]] says $23/hour is actual operating cost
+    * so would need to probably charge close to $42 / $50 per hour to actually help pay for themselves
