When this roof gets measured, this panel becomes its real roof composition — plane by plane.
Sun Score
56

Workable for solar.
Modeled from MD solar-resource data and this home's type — worth roughly 12,012 kWh a year at the region's typical yield. A measured scan refines it with the roof's real planes, tilts and shading.

What a measured scan adds

This page is a modeled estimate. A LiDAR measurement — or an installer's site survey — replaces it with this roof's real planes: exact tilts, facings, usable areas and shading, and a refined Sun Score.

Estimator assumptions: $2.85/W installed (2026 national average) · battery $12,500 per 13.5 kWh unit purchased, whole-home backup at average use · loan 7.5% APR (the median quoted solar-loan rate), term selectable · lease priced per kWh produced plus $60/mo per battery unit, first-year payment (leases typically escalate ~3%/yr) · typical home use 10,000 kWh/yr · power valued at $0.16/kWh · no federal homeowner credit in 2026 (it expired Dec 31, 2025); third-party leases can still benefit from the commercial credit. Payback math: power prices rise at the rate picked above (3%/yr default), panels fade 0.5%/yr, surplus beyond home use at ≈$0.02/kWh (typical utility year-end payout; rollover banking keeps credits at retail where offered), battery time-shifting at ≈$0.09/kWh on time-of-use spreads where offered. Each EV adds ≈3,300 kWh/yr (≈12,000 miles at 0.275 kWh/mile); the ≈$1,200/yr per-EV gas saving (30 mpg, $3/gal) is context only and is not counted in any payback.

These are estimates, not a quote. Every number on this page is modeled from aerial imagery and public data. Your actual price and savings will depend on the final system design an installer prepares after a site survey — panel and inverter selection, your roof’s real condition, pitch and shading, electrical panel capacity, permitting, and the incentives in effect when you install. Quotes vary from installer to installer, which is exactly why the button above sends your roof to up to four of them.

Questions about this roof

How much solar power could 118 Locust Dr produce?

This is a modeled estimate: a 9.1 kW system at 118 Locust Dr in Catonsville, MD could produce about 12,012 kWh per year, using the region's typical solar yield of 1320 kWh per kW installed (NREL PVWatts-typical). This roof has not been laser-measured yet, so treat it as a strong first approximation.

What is a Sun Score?

A Sun Score rates a roof's solar potential from 0 to 100. This score is MODELED — built from regional solar-resource data and the home's type, not from measured roof planes. 118 Locust Dr scores 56/100. When the roof is measured (LiDAR or a site survey), the score is refined with its real planes, tilts and shading.

How big a solar system fits on this roof?

A typical roof on a home like this fits about 9.1 kW of panels. The exact fit depends on the roof's real planes, obstructions and shading — which is what a measured scan or an installer's site survey confirms before any quote.

Is this a quote?

No. These figures are modeled estimates built from public data — regional solar resource (NREL), address records (US Census) and aerial imagery (USGS). A quote comes from an installer's design after the actual roof is measured.

*First-year power value at an assumed $0.16/kWh. Modeled estimates from regional solar-resource data (NREL), address records (US Census) and aerial imagery (USGS NAIP, public domain) — an on-site design can differ.
