14, Mar. 2014. Why must we be forced to receive calls from these companies trying to sell and/or scam us ! Why doesn't the government step up to the plate and do something once and for all ! Regards, Just another person sick of telemarketers/scammers.
The bulk of the price of going solar is now the âsoft costsâ (installation, permitting, etc.) rather than the solar panel cost. Again referencing the latest US Solar Market Insight report, the average installed cost of a residential solar panel system was $4.93/watt. However, prices vary tremendously by region.redit: Cost of Solar. Studies have found that the average solar homeowner will save about $20,000 over 20 years from going solar. In three of the four most populous states in the country, that 20-year total is actually $30,000.
For those looking for a range for the cost of solar panels, the cost will run from as low as $0.85 per watt to $1.25 per watt with output ranging from 150W to 350W for a typical solar panel. If those numbers seem low, remember that an installation has added costs thanks to the inverters, solar batteries and other additional equipment needed for a complete solar energy system.
