Biomass.solar_panel_investment(model: onstove.OnStove)

This method adds the cost of a solar panel to unelectrified areas.

The stove can be modelled a ICS with natural draft or forced draft. This is achieved by specifying the draft_type attribute of the class. If forced draft is used, then the class will consider and extra capital cost for a standard 6 watt solar panel in order to run the fan in unelectrified areas. The cost used for the panel is 1.25 USD per watt.
