The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $21,016. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 11540 kWh, and a 6.87 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.95/W, which we get from Tracking The Sun.
The current electricity costs for San Diego Gas & Electric Co are 33¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $3,808 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 5.52 years. If the costs of San Diego Gas & Electric Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 5.36 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 1110 kWh in August, to a low of 820 kWh in February. For the entire year, we estimate that your 6.87 kW sized system would produce 11540 kWh.
The state of California generally uses Full Retail Rate and Energy Export Credit Rate for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Full Retail Rate and Energy Export Credit Rate for the extra electricity.
