A family of five is planning to install solar panels on the roof of their home to help reduce the cost of electricity and save energy to help the environment. The family plans to install 10 panels, each with a power rating 600W. On average, a solar panel can produce electricity for 4.5 hours daily.
Assume the average cost of electricity is 5.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. How much money will the family save in a year on their electrical energy bill?
