The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $30,976. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 26150 kWh, and a 12.8 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 70% 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 11¢/kWh. So, by replacing 70% of your usage, you’ll save $2,070 throughout the year.

If the costs of City of Valley City electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 14.56 years.
