Case Studies
There are a variety of factors — such as the amount of sun your property receives, types/heights of surrounding trees and roof pitch — that determine the total system cost and long-term savings affiliated with solar. Ultimately, reaching out to Midwest Solar and letting our expert staff determine whether solar is right for you is the best course of action. We use high-quality software that gauges radiance and produces a shade report of your property to provide us a detailed guide as to whether solar is a smart investment for your home.
If you’re not quite ready to give us a call or complete our form to get a risk-free quote, we’re providing three case studies of projects MWSS has completed. Hopefully these examples give you a sense of the cost, tax advantages, incentives and utility savings associated with solar implementation.
The numbers included are for the specific homes we outfitted, with each house having a variety of unique factors specific to that property which determine cost and savings.
Example #1
The total system cost for this residential roof mount was $49,104. After an investment tax credit ($14,731) and state incentive ($11,728), the net system cost came out to $22,645. Solar installation yielded an annual savings of $2,257 at today’s kilowatt-hour cost.
At the time of Midwest Solar Solutions’ installation of the system, the cost this customer was paying monthly for kWh to a utility company was $260. The fixed-loan payment the customer locked in for the next 20 years by going solar with MWSS is $225.
The customer’s previous utility bill totaled $295 for kilowatt-hour usage each month. Upon installing a solar array with Midwest, the customer’s 20-year fixed loan payment that will never fluctuate is $215.
Example #2
The system cost for this residential roof mount complete with a sunlight backup solution totaled $65,108. Once an investment tax credit of $19,532 and state incentive of $16,790 was deducted from that figure, the customer paid a net total of $28,785. Implementing solar yielded a yearly savings of $3,641 at today’s kWh cost.
Example #3
This ground-mounted solar system cost a total of $56,373. The net cost was $23,233 after the customer received an investment tax credit of $16,912 and state incentive of $16,228. The individual receives an annual savings of $3,873 at today’s kWh cost.
The customer formerly paid $311 each month to rent its kilowatt-hour use from the utility company. Now, that monthly payment dropped to $216 for the next 20 years thanks to the homeowner investing in a ground-mount solar array with MWSS.
