The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $24,935. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 9960 kWh, and a 7.4 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.37/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for DTE Electric are 19¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,863 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.38 years. If the costs of DTE Electric electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 12.99 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 1040 kWh in July, to a low of 490 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 7.4 kW sized system would produce 9960 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $7,481.
