The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $17,883. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 15630 kWh, and a 7.3 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 67% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $2.45/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Alabama Power Co are 17¢/kWh. So, by replacing 67% of your usage, you’ll save $1,759 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 11.3 years. If the costs of Alabama Power Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 10.97 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 1000 kWh in May, to a low of 750 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 7.3 kW sized system would produce 10530 kWh.
