Based on the majority of our clients, a system of this size would generate 70%-100% of the electricity needed by their household. Of course every home is different and every family uses varying amounts of electricity so these numbers should be considered for estimating purposes only.

Now for the good news! Based on current electrical rates and SREC values, most systems pay for themselves in 10-12 years. After which you will be on the plus side and generating your own free electricity for many years to come!
