To calculate the life cycle cost per unit (Rs./kWh) for the given solar thermal power plant, we consider the total cost of ownership over the plant's life span, including capital cost and replacement costs, and divide it by the total energy output over the same period.

Step 1: Determine the base capacity for calculation

Assume the plant capacity = 1 kW (for simplification)

Step 2: Calculate initial capital cost
