The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $24,442. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 11690 kWh, and a 8.04 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $3.04/W, which we get from Energy Sage.
The current electricity costs for Virginia Electric & Power Co are 15¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $1,760 throughout the year.

If the costs of Virginia Electric & Power Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 13.49 years.
Solar installed at your house would generate different amounts of electricity during different months.
