The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $19,572. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 11490 kWh, and a 7.41 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $2.64/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Oncor Electric Delivery are 15¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,704 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 11.48 years. If the costs of Oncor Electric Delivery electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 11.15 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 August, to a low of 820 kWh in February. For the entire year, we estimate that your 7.41 kW sized system would produce 11490 kWh.
The state of Texas generally uses Retail Rate (fixed - None) for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Retail Rate (fixed - None) for the extra electricity.
