The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $19,113. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 8600 kWh, and a 6.01 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.18/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for MidAmerican Energy Co are 17¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,468 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.02 years. If the costs of MidAmerican Energy Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 12.64 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 860 kWh in July, to a low of 550 kWh in January. For the entire year, we estimate that your 6.01 kW sized system would produce 8600 kWh.
