Costs

Everyone knows that solar is a great technology, but what does a typical system cost?

Most rooftops in our service area can accommodate about 24 solar panels providing a system size of 8.4 kW.

Total pre-incentive cost

$26,000

(Based on $3.10 per watt)

26% federal tax credit

Based on the majority of our clients, a system of this size would generate 70%-100% of the electricity needed by their household. Of course every home is different and every family uses varying amounts of electricity so these numbers should be considered for estimating purposes only.

Now for the good news! Based on current electrical rates and SREC values, most systems pay for themselves in 8-10 years. After which you will be on the plus side and generating your own free electricity for many years to come!
