The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $18,715. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 7040 kWh, and a 5.59 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.36/W, which we get from Tracking The Sun.
The current electricity costs for Rochester Gas and Electric are 24¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,715 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 10.91 years. If the costs of Rochester Gas and Electric electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 10.59 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 810 kWh in July, to a low of 280 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 5.59 kW sized system would produce 7040 kWh.
You are eligible for a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of your solar system, or $5,615. You may also be eligible for a state tax credit of $5,000, from the state of New York.
