For a typical home solar array, one year of electricity (3.76MWh) eliminates 2.5

tonnes CO2 and 7kg of SO2

Since 2010, $/watt dropped 64%

Cost Demand

Incentives fromcities, suppliersalso driving demand

Score

• S = Solar Score• Radiance = kWh/m2• A = Area of Roof• $ = Unit Cost of Installation

• S = $/(R*A1/2)
