That is the number solar has to beat, and it is why most Burlington homeowners start comparing.

Burlington averages 4.1 peak sun hours a day. A well-oriented kilowatt of panels produces roughly 1,197 kilowatt-hours a year here. A typical 9 kW residential system therefore produces around 10,773 kWh annually.
Those are pre-shading numbers. Trees, roof pitch and orientation move them, sometimes a lot, which is why an installer looks at your specific roof rather than quoting from a city average.

Vermont has strong net metering — led by Green Mountain Power — that credits homeowners for the solar power they send back to the grid, and the state's Renewable Energy Standard continues to support solar growth. Net metering credits you for the surplus solar power your system sends to the grid: when your panels make more than you use, you bank a credit; at night you draw it back — for a lower, more predictable monthly bill.
In Vermont, net metering runs through utilities like Green Mountain Power and other local utilities. Full detail on our Vermont solar page, or learn why your bill keeps rising.
