The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $14,682. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 14800 kWh, and a 5.56 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 51% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $2.64/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Reliant Energy Retail Services LLC are 14¢/kWh. So, by replacing 51% of your usage, you’ll save $1,092 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.52 years. If the costs of Reliant Energy Retail Services LLC electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.13 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 690 kWh in October, to a low of 520 kWh in February. For the entire year, we estimate that your 5.56 kW sized system would produce 7510 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $4,405.
