The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $19,874. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 7590 kWh, and a 5.9 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.37/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
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 920 kWh in July, to a low of 280 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 5.9 kW sized system would produce 7590 kWh.
The state of Michigan generally uses Outflow Credit Rate for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Outflow Credit Rate for the extra electricity.
