The estimated cost to install solar at your house is $18,522. We calculated this because we think your electricity usage for the year is about 9810 kWh, and a 6.05 kW size solar system on your roof would replace 100% of your usage. We are using an estimated cost of $4.57/W, which we get from Tracking The Sun.
The current electricity costs for Southern California Edison Co are 33¢/kWh. So, by replacing 100% of your usage, you’ll save $3,195 throughout the year. If the costs of electricity stay the same, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 5.8 years. If the costs of Southern California Edison Co electricity rise 3%, then your savings will pay for your solar system in 5.63 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 900 kWh in April, to a low of 680 kWh in December. For the entire year, we estimate that your 6.05 kW sized system would produce 9810 kWh.
The state of California generally uses Full Retail Rate, Energy Export Credit Rate (2026 ACC, SDG&E CZ10), and Hourly ACC (2024 ACC, 2026 values) for net metering. This means that when you produce more electricity than your house uses, the utility will pay you Full Retail Rate, Energy Export Credit Rate (2026 ACC, SDG&E CZ10), and Hourly ACC (2024 ACC, 2026 values) for the extra electricity.
From Department of Energy Data, it looks like 94 homes have installed solar panels in your zip code, 93035. In your city, Oxnard, 513 homes have installed solar panels. And in the state of California, 331,810 homes have installed solar panels.
