Is a system with less than 30% energy offset worth it?

5 Upvotes

Been talking to an installer about installing solar on my home and the initial build is for 16 panels on my small roof and an estimated 28% offset. In looking around online I’m having a hard time finding data on what a normal offset looks like and I’m just not sure if this is in the bounds of reasonable.

The Solar Energy Reddit

Solar energy - radiant light and heat from the sun harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis.

It is an important source of renewable energy and its technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic systems, concentrated solar power and solar water heating to harness the energy. Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air.
