The Generate Choice Home Solar Program is not about saving money; it is more about the environmental benefits associated with enabling your home to be partially powered by a renewable energy such as solar power. While generating solar power will reduce thetotal amount of electricity you would otherwise buy from the grid, the cost difference really depends on how much electricity you use in your home.
Each home is different in the amount of energy they use and how much the solar panels will offset. If you use a normal amount of power and when you factor in upfront and monthly lease payments, you will likely be paying more then you currently pay for electricity to have a solar PV system generating electricity on your roofat today’s electricity prices. You should do the analysis for your particular situation by reviewing your current electricity bill.
In 2012, the average 6-module solar PV system we installed produced 1593kWh per system for the year. If you use less electricity then you generate, you would be credited for those kWh's at your electricity rate as shown on your electricity bill, however the majority of homes consume all the energy produced.
