The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $17,891. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 13990 kWh, and a 6.34 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 64% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $2.82/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Union Electric Co are 11¢/kWh. So, by replacing 64% of your usage, you’ll save $1,002 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 17.92 years. If the costs of Union Electric Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 17.40 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 880 kWh in August, to a low of 520 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 6.34 kW sized system would produce 8920 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $5,367.
