Rooftop solar in Canada typically costs about $2,890 per kW installed, and household electricity is around $0.179 per kWh. The average sunshine is about 3.7 peak sun hours a day.
As a rough example, a 5 kW home system would cost about $16,620, make around 5,064 kWh a year, and save about $907 a year. That is a payback of roughly 18.3 years.
