A home power unit is expected to cost between $15,000 and $18,000 USD.
Taking the purchase, financing, installation, and maintenance costs into consideration, the electricity generated by this device will cost around 1/3 of what it costs from the local utility.
Owens' recent prototype cost about $20,000 to build "because of trial and error and the fact that some parts were designed and tooled specifically for this machine. However, before the system is mass produced, it will be re-worked and streamlined, which will greatly reduce the production costs of individual systems." (paraphrase)
