The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $34,840. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 14250 kWh, and a 10.4 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.70/W, which we get from Tracking The Sun.
The current electricity costs for Con Edison are 25¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $3,607 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 9.66 years. If the costs of Con Edison electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 9.38 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 1400 kWh in May, to a low of 860 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 10.4 kW sized system would produce 14250 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $10,452. You may also be eligible for a state tax credit of $5,000, from the state of New York.
