Solar Electricity Production Experience • We produced 6880 kWh in the first year • We sold this electricity for $1442* • We used 6250 kWh in the first year • We paid $666 in electricity usage • So we earned $1442 - $666 = $776 in this first year • Our investment after tax rebates was $10,500 • Panels are guaranteed for 25 years • Our annual cost is $10,500/25 = $420 • So we netted $778 - $420 = $358 • We will earn back the initial investment in about 8 years • Hence ROI is (1442-420) / 10,500 = 9.7% * Progress Energy paid $458 – $48 charges, NC GreenPower paid $1032 31
