How much does a complete solar panel system cost?

Question

in a average independant home

thx♡♡

Answer 1

Your average solar panel system for initial startup costs anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 depending on how much energy you want to generate, if you want to be self-sustained, etc.

It claims to pay for itself in roughly 15-20 years, but by then the system will probably need to be replaced or upgraded again.

At this point in time, it is pretty much a "rich get richer" scheme, for most people can't afford to put these on their houses.

Answer 4

First, take number of KWH shown on your bill. Divide that by 30. That gives you your average daily usage. So if you use 700 KWH, that is 23.3 KWH per day.

Take that number. Divide it by the number of full sun hours you get per day on a yearly average. Multiply it by 1.15. That will give you a pretty close estimate of how many watts of solar panel you need. So if you get 5 hours per day, divide 23.3 by 5 - that gives you 4.66 KW, or 4,666 watts. Multiply that by 1.15, which gives you 5,360 watts of solar panel needed.

Average installed cost of solar electric if you do it yourself is around $7 per watt, or $9 if you have it installed by a licensed contractor. That includes the cost of the panels, inverters, wire, mounts, and other hardware. It does NOT include anything else you might need to pay for, like inspections or extra watt meters by the electric company. So that system will cost you around $37,500. A battery based system will cost around 20-30% more.

Answer 5

depends on where you live too cause some govs are giving grants and special loans if you wanna go green

Answer 6

Its very hard to give an exact or even average number. But, you can expect a good system that fully powers an average home to cost about $10k.
