Estimate what solar does against your Toledo Edison bill
Enter your bill and we’ll size the array that would cover it, and show the gross value of that production at your rate. It does not net off the customer charge, taxes or what you would still draw at night — for that, use the bill savings calculator. Nothing is sent anywhere; this runs in your browser.
An estimate from your own numbers, not a quote, and not a savings figure. It assumes 400 W panels, an 80% system derate and no roof constraints. Your real number depends on orientation, roof area and your utility’s export credit. Savings are not guaranteed.
The number
What Toledo Edison actually charges
Toledo Edison’s residential price to compare is 11.10¢ per kilowatt-hour (July 1 – September 30, 2026) — that is the generation portion only. Add delivery, transmission and riders and Ohio homes average about 19.5¢ all-in (EIA statewide residential average). At 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month that is roughly $195 before fixed charges and taxes.
The generation rider rose from 9.18¢ to 10.19¢ per kWh on June 1, 2026 — about 11%. The pending three-year distribution case (26-0347-EL-AIR) seeks about $5.30 a month more per year from 2027, roughly $15.90 a month by year three.

Why it is high
Three causes, in the order worth checking
Usage
Pull twelve months of kilowatt-hours from your Toledo Edison account. Dollars hide whether the problem is how much you use or what you pay for it. Electric heat, a heat pump in shoulder season, an EV or a second refrigerator will all show up here.
Rate increases
Regional wholesale capacity costs have risen sharply and that flows into the delivery portion of the bill, which is the part you cannot shop.
Your supplier
You can buy supply from a third party while Toledo Edison still delivers it. A supplier contract that rolled off a teaser rate onto a variable one is the most common cause of a bill that jumped with no change in usage. Compare the supply line against the Toledo Edison price to compare (11.10¢).
What a roof does against it
Production against a 19.5¢ rate
Ohio averages about 4.0 peak sun hours a day, so a kilowatt of panels produces roughly 1,168 kilowatt-hours a year at an 80% derate. A 9 kW system makes around 10,512 kilowatt-hours annually — about $2,050 of Toledo Edison electricity a year at the statewide all-in average.
That is production value, not a savings figure. What you actually keep depends on how much of it you use directly versus export, what Toledo Edison credits exports at, and what you pay for the system. Under a power purchase agreement there is no upfront cost and you buy the production at an agreed rate instead.
The residential federal tax credit (25D) ended for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.
You will still see ads promising a 30% credit that “ends December 31.” Read the date on them. If you buy a system today as a homeowner, you cannot claim that credit. What remains under 48E applies to the owner of the system — which, under a PPA, is us. SolarAmerica does not provide tax advice; talk to your tax professional about your situation.
Every figure here is an estimate built from published rates and modeled production. It is not a savings guarantee, and no solar company can honestly give you one. Your actual result depends on your roof, your usage and what your utility charges next year.

The things people actually ask
Why is my Toledo Edison bill so high?
Ohio residential service averages about 19.5¢ per kilowatt-hour all-in, so 1,000 kilowatt-hours costs roughly $195 before fixed charges. Toledo Edison’s price to compare is 11.10¢ (July 1 – September 30, 2026); the rest is delivery, transmission and riders. If your usage has not changed and the bill has, the cause is a rate reset or your third-party supplier contract.

The generation price to compare is 11.10¢ per kWh (July 1 – September 30, 2026). All-in, Ohio homes average about 19.5¢ once delivery and riders are added. Your own bill divided by your kilowatt-hours is the exact figure for your account.
What changed on my Toledo Edison bill in 2026?
The generation rider rose from 9.18¢ to 10.19¢ per kWh on June 1, 2026 — about 11%. The pending three-year distribution case (26-0347-EL-AIR) seeks about $5.30 a month more per year from 2027, roughly $15.90 a month by year three.

Not for delivery — that is set by your address. Ohio is a retail-choice state, so you can buy supply from a third party while Toledo Edison still delivers it.
