How much would it cost to make an average house run completely on solar energy?

Question

I'm looking for dollar amounts, NOT arguments on whether solar power is efficient or worthwhile...If it matters, the house would be in northern Ohio, 1700 sq ft, built 1975. Thanks!

Answer 1

Probably $25-30k.  If you look on a map Ohio isn't the best place for solar electricity.

Answer 2

any time you add solar energy it saves you money in the long run. we paid about 18,000 to do my friends house, and through the years they have saved lots. As prices soar, they will save even more. your smart to consider it.
