The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $34,941. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 25430 kWh, and a 11.46 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 47% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.05/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Puget Sound Energy Inc are 14¢/kWh. So, by replacing 47% of your usage, you’ll save $1,668 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 23.49 years. If the costs of Puget Sound Energy Inc electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 22.81 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 1590 kWh in July, to a low of 460 kWh in November. For the entire year, we estimate that your 11.46 kW sized system would produce 12060 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $10,482.
