The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $29,853. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 15520 kWh, and a 10.74 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $2.78/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Progress Energy Carolinas Inc are 16¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $2,418 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.55 years. If the costs of Progress Energy Carolinas Inc electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.16 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 1460 kWh in April, to a low of 1120 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 10.74 kW sized system would produce 15520 kWh.
The state of North Carolina generally uses Avoided Cost Rate for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Avoided Cost Rate for the extra electricity.
From Department of Energy Data, it looks like 2,911 homes have installed solar panels in your state, North Carolina.
There are 15 solar installers that operate in North Carolina. WattBuy recommends EnergySage, RGR Marketing, and Palmetto.
