The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $19,391. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 14300 kWh, and a 7.95 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.85/W, which we get from Tracking The Sun.
The current electricity costs for Arizona Public Service Co are 16¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $2,317 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 8.95 years. If the costs of Arizona Public Service Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 8.69 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 1350 kWh in April, to a low of 1000 kWh in July. For the entire year, we estimate that your 7.95 kW sized system would produce 14300 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $5,817. You may also be eligible for a state tax credit of $1,000, from the state of Arizona. The state of Arizona generally uses Resource Comparison Proxy Export Rate for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Resource Comparison Proxy Export Rate for the extra electricity.
There are 20 solar installers that operate in Arizona. WattBuy recommends Palmetto, Solar America, and EnergySage.
