SAVINGS BY SOLAR

In order to know how much money solar panels can save you on your power bills, start by figuring out how much you spend on electricity each year. The typical yearly electricity usage in a US family, for example, is 11,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh). If you multiply that by the national average electricity rate ($0.1301), you get a total of $0.1301. Long story short, the average American home can easily be sustained by a solar system.¹
