The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $30,011. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 22020 kWh, and a 12.4 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 80% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $2.42/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for City of Valley City are 13¢/kWh. So, by replacing 80% of your usage, you’ll save $2,238 throughout the year.

If the costs of City of Valley City electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 12.97 years.
