Question

Suppose you install solar panels that provide 3.9 kW of electrical power when the sun is shining. A typical year might have 1850 hours of daylight, on average. If the local utility charges $0.14/kWh, how much will you save each year because of the solar panels, in dollars?

Step 1

Given that the solar panels provide 3.9 kW of electrical power and there are 1850 hours of daylight in a typical year, we can calculate the total energy produced in a year: Total energy produced = 3.9 kW * 1850 hours = 7215 kWh Show more…
