Mark, Attached is the savings calculator with the O&M rolled into the buyout.  In including the O&M in the financing the team had some thoughts:
–          They now HAVE to buy it out at the end of year 10 by doing this – the project is underwater otherwise, I’m not sure they will like that requirement 
–          A better way may be to roll it into the lease payment, so that it is a bit higher during year 1-10
–          But then we’re back to the same result as if we had the O&M separately paid for by them
–          We have to also check on the tax lease rules about forcing them to buy at end of year 10, may cause some issues I have not thought of yet
–          So, while a little harder to sell, it may be better to just go back to what we had before with O&M paid by them, even though it isn’t quite as good as paying nothing in years 1-10
–          I have attached both versions in case you want to go back to what we had before The spreadsheet can be updated with other costs:
–          I heard mention of inverter replacements, that is not included currently
–          Also property taxes (but to be clear, those are owed from years 1-10 as well by them, they are not paid for as part of the lease financing)
–          The other option we typically see included is insurance…  Although adding ~$5m of solar onto very valuable schools likely won’t  change their existing insurance much/at all
–          I haven’t attempted adding any of these, feel free to add yourself as you see fit
