How Much Do Solar Panels Cost – Average Solar Price in America
Every solar system is a little different, so there’s no real “standard” for prices in America. From state to state and even county to county, every home has unique needs. The cost of your installation will depend on a few factors, the most important of which include…
- The size of the solar system.
- The addition of any optional extras like solar battery backup.
- Any work that you need for your roof.
- Current equipment prices.
You can get a free home solar estimate to give you an accurate idea of what your installation would cost, which will be followed up with an on-site inspection and evaluation before you get the final estimate.
For a ballpark figure even before you start the estimate process, you can consider the average cost of solar in America.
According to the latest data from Consumer Affairs, the average cost of a 6-kW solar system ranges from $16,870 to $23,170. This is the average cost after the Federal tax credit. You should also consider that there are New York solar tax credits available, as well as State incentive programs that can reduce your bill. So, depending on the size of your system and the complexity of the installation, your bill might end up below the national average.
As we mentioned, several factors can affect the real cost of solar for every home, so take the statistics with a grain of salt. The best way to find out about the cost of solar for your home is to start with your free online estimate from Long Island Power Solutions.
