5 ton machine? I live in a regular sized modest house.

Anyway, I have no idea. The guy I bought the house from had added a new AC unit a year before I bought it, I gave the solar guy the paperwork for it and told him I wanted enough power to keep my house ice cold all summer and not pay for it.

My roof is slanted N-S so they put a 10 by 20 panel array on the south facing side, and viola, my electric bill drops $150 in the summer.

Of course it'll take 10-12 years of summers to pay it off, but I figure I'll get my money back plus some when I sell the place.
