The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $18,622. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 8900 kWh, and a 6.31 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $2.95/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Georgia Power Co are 14¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,203 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 15.48 years. If the costs of Georgia Power Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 15.03 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 840 kWh in May, to a low of 610 kWh in February. For the entire year, we estimate that your 6.31 kW sized system would produce 8900 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $5,587. The state of Georgia generally uses Avoided Solar Cost Rate + Renewable Generation Adder and Solar Avoided Energy Cost Rate for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Avoided Solar Cost Rate + Renewable Generation Adder and Solar Avoided Energy Cost Rate for the extra electricity.
