How many years does a solar tile roof payback?

The payback period of a solar tile roof is related to the amount of electricity generated by the solar tiles, which is directly related to the profitability of the solar system.

The cost of installing a solar tile roof on a home depends on the installed capacity and the budget. 100 sq. ft. of roof can be fitted with a solar tile roof of around 10-13 KW.

Installation of 10KW solar tile roof, need to cost the market price of about 85,000RMB. which includes solar system in the solar tile module, inverter, distribution box, PV cable, MC4 connector and so on, the preliminary solar roof survey, the middle of the design and construction and the late grid-connected after-sales service.

Let's make a hypothesis

A solar tiles roof is installed with solar roof tiles in a certain area of China, using a grid-connected solar energy storage system with an installed capacity of 10kw, 20% power loss, and an average sunshine duration of 4 hours.

10*4*0.8=32kwh

You can get 32 kWh of electricity per day

The homeowner uses 20 kWh (0.8RMB from the grid) and has 12 kWh left over, which is fed back to the grid at 0.6RMB for revenue.

20*0.8+12*0.5=23.2RMB

This is one day's earnings

. 

23.2*365 days=8468RMB

This is the total income for one year

80000/8468=9 years

Payback time is about 9 years

This payback time is based on 4 hours of light per day, but there is more light than that! And in areas where there are sufficient hours of sunlight, up to 5-6 hours, the amount of electricity generated can be greatly increased. Most importantly, in countries with high electricity prices, this payback time is much shorter！

In addition to reducing your electricity bill, the solar tile roof has another advantage that you can't refuse - aesthetics. It doesn't give your solar roof an unpleasant experience like solar panels do, it blends perfectly into your solar roof, doesn't it?
