The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $27,469. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 11180 kWh, and a 8.5 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.23/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Volunteer Electric Coop are 15¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,686 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 16.29 years. If the costs of Volunteer Electric Coop electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 15.82 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 1080 kWh in August, to a low of 690 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 8.5 kW sized system would produce 11180 kWh.
