The most common reason homeowners want to switch to solar is to end their high electric bills. As you’ve probably noticed, homes can use a lot of electricity each day, which quickly adds up at the end of the month leading to huge monthly energy bills that never end.

Due to ever-changing and unpredictable electricity rates, we know a strong appeal of solar energy is the promise of minuscule or eliminated energy bills after the system is paid off.

We assure you, your electric bill will decrease after system activation. With a properly sized system, the hundreds of electrical devices you own will be able to source their energy from your panels before pulling from the grid.

Key Takeaways

• The actual amount of electricity your home uses depends on many factors like the specific electrical appliances in your home, their efficiency, your household’s energy habits, and the size of your home.
• Heating and cooling the home will demand the most energy of all your electrical appliances.
• A properly sized solar system will always save you money on your electric bill.

Electrical Demand of a House

Your panels can cover any appliance or system that demands electricity. We’ve analyzed the most common electrical devices found in households and their average monthly energy needs so you can see just how much money solar can save you.

These calculations are assuming an electricity rate of 26 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Electrical Devices in the Kitchen

Electrical Devices in the Living Room

Electrical Devices for Laundry

These calaculations assume each of these machines are run ten times per month.

Hypothetical Electric Bill Total

A home that only utilizes central air will incur a $360.37 electric bill and demand 1,374 kWh of energy per month. This bill totals to $4,324.44 per year and if powered by solar panels, could be $0.00.

Over the 25 year lifespan of a solar system, $108,111 would be saved in this hypothetical example.

Other Factors Influencing the Electrical Demand of Your Home

These statistics give a very rough estimate of energy usage and costs per month. The amount of people in your home, the time of year, and your household’s particular usage habits will all influence your electrical demand.

Solar Boosts Your Home’s Energy Independence

We buy homes to gain complete control over our living spaces, and free ourselves from the constraints of a landlord’s rules. However, this authority is somewhat limited by unavoidable electric bills, over which we have no power. This is where solar can change the game. An energy source that promises to sever our ties to conventional electricity costs, and offer us a new level of independence.
