The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $17,459. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 9650 kWh, and a 4.77 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 67% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.66/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Utilities Dist-Western IN REMC are 15¢/kWh. So, by replacing 67% of your usage, you’ll save $957 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 18.16 years. If the costs of Utilities Dist-Western IN REMC electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 17.63 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 660 kWh in August, to a low of 370 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 4.77 kW sized system would produce 6500 kWh.
