As energy costs continue to rise, more homeowners are turning to solar power to cut down on their electricity bills.
At Goodrich Solar Solutions, our residential solar programs are designed to help you save money while contributing to a cleaner environment. In this post, we’ll explain how an average 7.5 kWh solar system can significantly offset your electricity costs, potentially saving you over $140 each month. Plus, we’ll share real-life savings from our satisfied customers.
Understanding the Savings
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the average American household consumes about 881 kWh of electricity per month, resulting in an average monthly electricity bill of $146.92. By installing a 7.5 kWh solar system, homeowners can harness the power of the sun to generate their own electricity, drastically reducing their reliance on the grid.
A typical 7.5 kWh system with about 5 peak sunlight hours per day can generate approximately 37.5 kWh of electricity daily. Over a month, this adds up to 1,125 kWh, which is more than enough to cover the average household’s electricity needs. This means that, in ideal conditions, you could potentially offset your entire electricity bill and save the full $146.92 each month.
Real-Life Savings: Case Studies and Testimonials
Case Study 1: The Johnson Family
The Johnson family decided to install a 7.5 kWh solar system on their home in sunny California. Before going solar, their average monthly electricity bill was around $150. After the installation, they noticed an immediate reduction in their bills. Over the first year, their average electricity bill dropped to just $20 per month, covering only the connection fee. The Johnsons saved approximately $1,560 in their first year alone.

The Bigger Picture: Financial and Environmental Benefits
Investing in a solar system not only slashes your energy bills but also increases the value of your home.
