We had 175 panels on our 7200 sf barn roof in MA. Took care of our home, barn apartment, indoor arena lights, barn lights and heat. Our average electric bill pre solar in February was 2500.00. Yearly was typically around 8000.
MA had a significant SRECs payment around 10,000 a year.
It was net metering. We collected credits during summer and used that during winter when snow covered the panels.
In MA, totally worth the cost. In FL, our electric bill is running 120 a month. I don't see it as cost effective.
