The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $13,852. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 6750 kWh, and a 4.54 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 93% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.05/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Peco Electricity are 18¢/kWh. So, by replacing 93% of your usage, you’ll save $1,134 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 12.17 years. If the costs of Peco Electricity electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 11.82 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 600 kWh in July, to a low of 390 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 4.54 kW sized system would produce 6300 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $4,156. The state of Pennsylvania generally uses Full Retail Rate for net metering.
