Ohio electricity prices average $0.13/kWh, just below below the national average of $0.14/kWh. In 2019 solar photovoltaic accounted for roughly 10% of the state's renewable power generation, half of which came from small-scale solar power systems.
The average cost of a 5kW (equivalent to saving almost 100 trees a year) solar power system starts around $10,000 in Ohio. That system would pay for itself through energy savings within 5-7 years. System life can span well over 25 years, and savings will improve with inflation.
