The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $18,063. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 7840 kWh, and a 5.68 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.18/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Commonwealth Edison are 17¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,349 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.39 years. If the costs of Commonwealth Edison electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.00 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 800 kWh in July, to a low of 440 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 5.68 kW sized system would produce 7840 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $5,419. The state of Illinois generally uses Retail Supply and Delivery Rate for net metering.
