The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $36,907. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 13720 kWh, and a 11.02 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $2.89/W, which we get from Tracking The Sun.
The current electricity costs for National Grid are 11¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,456 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 10.77 years. If the costs of National Grid electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 10.46 years.
Solar installed at your house would generate different amounts of electricity during different months. We estimate that your production would vary from a high of 1550 kWh in July, to a low of 690 kWh in November. For the entire year, we estimate that your 11.02 kW sized system would produce 13720 kWh.
