The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $15,065. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 9260 kWh, and a 4.92 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.95/W, which we get from Tracking The Sun.
The current electricity costs for Southern California Edison Co are 33¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $3,054 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 4.93 years. If the costs of Southern California Edison Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 4.79 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 850 kWh in May, to a low of 660 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 4.92 kW sized system would produce 9260 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $4,520. The state of California generally uses Full Retail Rate and Energy Export Credit Rate for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Full Retail Rate and Energy Export Credit Rate for the extra electricity.
