The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $12,233. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 6810 kWh, and a 4 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $4.39/W, which we get from Tracking The Sun.
The current electricity costs for Pacific Gas & Electric Co are 32¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $2,156 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 5.67 years. If the costs of Pacific Gas & Electric Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 5.50 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 700 kWh in July, to a low of 360 kWh in January. For the entire year, we estimate that your 4 kW sized system would produce 6810 kWh.
The state of California generally uses Energy Export Credit Rate and Full Retail Rate for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Energy Export Credit Rate and Full Retail Rate for the extra electricity.
