I have a 2,500 square foot home. How large a system do I need and how much will it cost?

Welcome to Valley of the Sun Solar Art
Assuming you want to offset as much of your annual electric bill as possible, the size of your system is more a function of your annual electric bill rather than the size of your home. People have different energy consumption habits, so a 2,500 square foot home could spend $1,200 a year or $3,000 a year on electricity. The type of home you have, the kind of appliances you run, your home's location, orientation etc all have a bearing on how much electricity you consume.

To accurately size a system to meet your needs, we need to know how much energy you use per day. If your home is connected to the utility grid, simply look at your monthly electric bill.

What is the square-foot-price of a Design Home?

Frequently Asked Questions
The easy answer is between $50 and $60--for the most part. Obviously, a little 36' ranch with no options isn't going to be the same price as a 76' long tri-level with $16,000 worth of options. We build both, though. This question is actually a little misleading, though. A site-built home often costs around $100 per sq. ft., or more--but that includes the foundation, on-site plumbing, and hookups. When you add these things to our homes the sq. ft.
