How Much Do Solar Panels Cost?
Saving money is Smart. Going solar is a Smart investment. Everyone asks about cost, but if your goal is to maximize how much you make from your investment, then the most important questions are “how much money will you save each month on electric bills?” and “how quickly does your solar system pay for itself?”
To calculate that payback period, you need to account for factors like the quality of your solar system, how much sun reaches your solar panels, whether you lease or own the system, the cost per watt, available tax credits, and quite a few more. Reputable solar providers can calculate those factors to show you how quickly your system will pay for itself in electric bill savings.
But understandably, you want to know how much it will cost to put a solar system on your roof. Below we’ll break down cost and some of the other major factors that you should consider.
Estimating how much home solar panels cost in 2021
One of the first questions someone interested in home solar asks is, How much do solar panels cost? It’s important to know there is not a one-size-fits-all answer because every home is different, and there are many geographic variables and federal and local tax incentives to consider.
The easiest thing to do is to contact a professional solar installer. The installer will give you a free evaluation that entails looking at your electricity bill to find out how many kilowatt hours of electricity your household typically uses and evaluating your roof and shading, to determine how many panels you’ll need. That, combined with local solar incentives your community may offer and the federal solar tax credit, will give you a full picture of how much your home solar system will cost. The good news is that no matter where you live, the cost of solar panels is coming down.
We look at the price per watt when figuring out the cost of your system, but you may find it more useful to think about the price of leasing a solar system separately from the price to own one. That’s because with a lease it’s important to think about how much you can save for each month of the lease, but when you own the system it’s more important to understand how quickly it can pay for itself.
What is the cost of individual solar panels?
Very few people are going to buy just the solar panels themselves, just like few people would buy the components of a car and build their own vehicle. We recommend you use a SunPower-approved installer for your solar system.
Yes, it’s possible to buy a single solar panel for as little as 100, but a solar panel does not operate in isolation. You need a system of hardware and software to generate electricity from the sun, including solar panels, an inverter, mounting hardware, wires and cables., It is also beneficial to have a monitoring system that tracks the production, energy use and savings of your system. And you need to consider the cost of installation and operation.
Once you get an estimate for the cost of your solar system, you should subtract the potential savings on your utility bill over time, including any incentives offered by your local or state governments. Then you’ll have a better understanding of how going solar will impact your finances.
What are the factors that affect solar panels?
The cost of a home solar system can vary, even in the same city, due to a range of factors, including the:
- Quality of the solar system
- Household’s energy needs
- Local weather
- Available roof space and shading
- Financing options selected (cash, loan, or lease)
To help you understand the price of going solar in your area, we’ve analyzed SunPower price quotes, as well as quotes gathered by third-party sources for thousands of homeowners across the country.
We found that the cost of installing a 5 kW solar system in the U.S. ranges from 11,150 to 46,100, or in other words, from 2.23 to 9.22 per watt. And that’s before considering the benefits of any available tax credits or incentives.
The chart below shows the average cost of a 5 kW home solar system in each U.S. state.
How do I know how much sun my roof gets?
The more direct sunlight your home receives, the more power the panels can produce. But there’s a little more to it than just sunlight. To see if your house is a good candidate for solar, try out a solar panel suitability checker such as Google’s Project Sunroof. Then set up an appointment for a solar consultation with an expert who’ll visit your home to inspect its orientation (solar panels facing south capture more energy), roof angle and tree shading to see if your roof will receive enough sunlight to meet your family’s electricity needs. SunPower’s solar consultations are free, online or in-person, and you can learn more about your home electricity needs and savings options.
SunPower panels are proven to be the most efficient on the market —not to mentioned unmatched at generating power in low-light situations—but, excessive shading will reduce the amount of power that can be generated.
It’s also important to know a SunPower Equinox ® solar solution has unique, factory-integrated microinverters in each panel. Meaning, if one panel isn’t producing energy because of shade, neighboring panels receiving more sunlight can still generate solar energy for your home.
What are the most efficient solar panels?
Remember that the adage, “You get what you pay for,” applies to home solar technology. Not all solar systems are alike. The quality of the technology matters in the long run. The durability, reliability and efficiency of solar panels can vary widely by manufacturer. If you settle for a conventional home solar system that might cost less out-of-, you can expect to see average (or below average) results and less savings over time. Watch these videos about the lifespan of SunPower® solar panels and their durability and reliability.
In short, SunPower panels are the most efficient home solar panels you can buy. A higher quality panel like SunPower’s might cost a little more upfront, but you’ll see a higher—and quicker—return on your investment in the long run. Our panels come with a 25-year Complete Confidence warranty and have an expected useful life of 40 years. And since they’re more efficient than other panels on the market, you’ll need fewer of them on your roof. Our panels produce up to 55% more energy in the same space over 25-years than conventional panels, ultimately saving you more money on your electric bill.
Industry measurements such as the Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy Systems’ PV Durability Initiative can give you a better idea of a solar panel’s expected lifespan—a factor that can have a tremendous impact on the system’s lifetime value.
The superior efficiency and durability of high-quality panels can provide increased savings over time and lower maintenance costs. You can get a personalized SunPower solar savings estimate using our solar calculator, which lets you factor in variables like buying solar storage and/or having an electric vehicle.
What solar incentives or solar rebates are available?
There are many different tax incentives, subsidies and financing and billing solutions at the state and local levels that can make going solar more affordable. To see if you might be eligible for renewable energy incentive programs, visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewables Efficiency (DSIRE®).
If you purchase your solar system, you may qualify for the 26% federal tax credit (ITC). The full solar ITC is available to home solar owners through 2022. It drops to a 22% credit in 2023 and is scheduled to go away completely in 2024, so don’t put off buying solar for too long.
Get a solar estimate
Ultimately, the easiest way to answer the “How much does solar cost” question is to give our solar advisors a call at 844-578-6793. They’ll help you get a free estimate for your home. Or you can contact a solar installer in your area directly. Get more tips on Choosing a Home Solar Installation Company.
When you’re getting solar estimates, be sure to ask about the technology the installer intends to use, their hardware, their monitoring software, their past installations and their maintenance plans. It’s especially important to ask about their warranty.
Most solar companies offer multiple, separate warranties for each component on a solar system, and there can be hidden fees like shipping fees when replacing a broken panel. With SunPower Complete Confidence Warranty, one company backs your entire solar system, including battery storage and monitoring.

Solar Costs
Energy from the sun is free. However, capturing and utilizing this free energy does have associated costs, such as installing and maintaining the equipment needed to harness the energy.
Residential System Pricing
Solar Thermal System Pricing
Solar water heating systems generally produce the biggest economic return on investment. A typical residential solar water heating system sized for a family of four costs about 6,000 to 8,000.
Solar Electric System Pricing
The initial investment required to purchase a residential solar electric system can be significant. A turnkey system equipped to produce enough power for the average home can be as much as 30,000. 36,000, which is why most homeowners choose a solar electric system that is designed to offset only a portion of the home’s electrical energy consumption.
An average home in Alabama consumes 1,200 kWh of electricity each month. A solar electric system rated at one kilowatt will produce approximately 100 kWh of electricity per month in Alabama, which means the average house would require an approximately 12-kilowatt (kW) system with battery back-up in order to meet 100% of the household electricity needs.
Installing a solar electric system without batteries averages between 2,500 to 3,000 per kW. Therefore, the average homeowner would have to make an initial equipment investment of 30,000 to 36,000 for a 12-kW system. In Alabama, with electric costs averaging 0.125/kWh, the annual electric utility cost for the average homeowner would be 1,800.
Without incentives, it would take over 20 years to get a return on the investment of a whole-house solar electric system.
Tax Credits and Incentives
For a typical household, the prospect of paying up to 100,000 for solar panels is prohibitive; however, incentives in the form of tax credits and low interest loans can help offset the cost. A 26% federal tax credit is currently available through December 2022 for installing a solar energy system.

Solar Panel Cost per Square Foot: How Much Will Solar Cost For Your Home?
In 2023, the Heatmap Climate Poll found that 59% of Americans want to power their homes with solar panels, and 86% said they would welcome rooftop solar into their communities.
Given this fondness, why aren’t more homeowners going solar?
The biggest hurdle is typically cost. Many people have a vague notion that “solar is expensive,” which makes it hard to get the ball rolling on a project of their own.
But what if you could get a rough solar panel cost estimate to chew on before talking to a salesperson? You’d likely feel more confident heading into the solar process and better prepared to spot a scam.
With this in mind, we analyzed thousands of solar systems purchased on solar.com in 2022 to break down the solar panel cost per square foot of living space. Our goal is to give homeowners a sense of how much solar would cost based on the size of their home.
How much do solar panels cost per square foot of living space?
Home solar systems typically range from 8.25 to 18.28 per square foot of living space. The actual cost may vary based on the size and electricity consumption. These estimates are provided before applying any incentives or tax credits.
It’s important to clarify that these figures represent the solar panel cost per square foot of living space in your home – not the size of your roof or the square footage of solar panels installed. We like this measure because every homeowner knows the square footage of their home (if you don’t, look it up on Zillow!), but not everyone knows the area of their roof or how many square feet of solar panels they need.
With this method, simply multiply the square footage of your home by the figure in the table below that corresponds most closely to your home size.
| Square footage of living space | Avg cost per square foot of living space | Avg cost per square foot of living space(after tax credit) |
| ~1,500 | 18.28 | 12.80 |
| ~2,000 | 14.74 | 10.32 |
| ~2,500 | 11.50 | 8.05 |
| ~3,000 | 10.12 | 7.08 |
| ~3,500 | 8.25 | 5.78 |
For example, the cost of solar panels for a 2,500 square foot home would be 28,750 before incentives, and 20,125 after the 30% tax credit.
2,500 x 11.50 = 28,750
While this method provides a quick-and-dirty estimate for your cost of solar panels, it’s not at all how solar systems are sized and priced. Real solar quotes are based on your average electricity consumption — not the square footage of your home or roof.
How much do solar panels cost for a 1,500 square foot house?
According to 2022 averages, solar panels cost around 27,500 before incentives, and around 19,250 after the 30% tax credit for a 1,500 square foot house. That boils down to a rate of around 12.80 per square foot of living space.
How much do solar panels cost for a 2,000 square foot house?
A solar system for a 2,000 square foot house costs, on average, 29,200 before incentives and around 20,500 after the 30% tax credit. That’s a rate of 10.32 per square foot of living space.
If your home is closer to 1,750 square feet, you can expect the pre-incentive solar system cost to be between 27,500 and 29,200.
The chart below shows the average cost of solar panels for homes based on their square footage.
You’ll notice that there isn’t a great correlation between home size and cost. That’s because home size isn’t the best indicator of how many solar panels you need and how much they cost. Electricity consumption, sun exposure, and local incentives have a much greater impact on the cost of solar.
So, if you have two EVs and all electric appliances in a 1,500 square foot house, it’s likely you’d need a larger solar system than someone with all gas cars and appliances in a 2,500 square foot house.
And while the 30% solar tax credit is available nationwide, some states (especially New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts) have additional incentives that can substantially reduce the cost of solar and/or battery systems.
You can use your home size to get a ballpark idea of how much solar would cost, but to get an exact number, it’s best to get multiple binding quotes from local installers – which you can do right on solar.com.
How big of a solar system do I need for a 2,500 square foot house?
In addition to cost, it’s good to have an idea of the size of the system you’ll need to offset your electricity consumption. Solar systems are typically sized in kilowatts (kW). One kilowatt is equal to 1,000 Watts and the Wattage represents the total production capacity of the solar panels.
Using our cost estimates above, we can work backward to get a sense of how many Watts and how many panels an average 2,500 square foot home needs.
Let’s say we have a pre-incentive price of 28,750 and your installer is using 4.50 per Watt as their price point. That means your solar system would be 6,389 Watts, or 6.389 kW.
Now, you divide the size by the Wattage rating of each panel. Today, 400W is considered the best solar panel and industry standard for residential solar, and you would need 16 400W panels to make up a 6,389 Watt solar system.
6,389 Watts / 400 Watts = 16 panels
Let’s run the same exercise for some smaller and larger homes.
How many solar panels would I need for a 1,400 square foot house?
At 18.28 cents per square foot of living space, a solar system for a 1,400 square foot house would have a pre-incentive cost of 25,592.
The number of panels in that system would depend on the price per watt from your installer and the power rating of the panels. The table below shows a few scenarios:
| Pre-incentive system cost | Price per watt | Panel rating | Number of panels |
| 25,592 | 5 | 400W | 13 |
| 25,592 | 5 | 350W | 15 |
| 25,592 | 4.5 | 400W | 14 |
| 25,592 | 4.5 | 350W | 16 |
How many solar panels do I need for a 3,000 sq ft home?
The average pre-incentive cost of a solar system for a 3,000 square foot home was 30,100 based on thousands of sales conducted on solar.com in 2022.
The number of panels in these systems depends on the price point from the installer and power rating of each panel. The table below shows a few common scenarios for a 3,000 square foot home.
| Pre-incentive system cost | Price per watt | Panel rating | Number of panels |
| 30,100 | 5 | 400W | 15 |
| 30,100 | 5 | 350W | 17 |
| 30,100 | 4.5 | 400W | 17 |
| 30,100 | 4.5 | 350W | 19 |
You’ll notice that the number of panels for a 3,000 square foot house is not significantly more than the number of panels for a 1,400 square foot home. This is because your electricity consumption is much more important in sizing a solar system than the size of your home.
How many kW of solar do I need for a 2,000 square foot house?
The most accurate way to determine how many kilowatts of solar capacity you need is to average electricity consumption on your latest electricity bills (the more you average together, the better).
In fact, one of the first things solar installers ask for is a recent copy (or copies) of your utility bill so they can accurately size your solar system, as shown below. The highlighted areas show some of the clues solar companies use to get an average electricity consumption to size your system on.
For example, let’s say the sample bill above is for a 2,000 square foot house in Portland, Oregon. Based on the chart, their average electricity consumption is around 466.5 kWh per month, or 5,600 kWh per year.
By guessing and checking on the PVWatts calculator. we find that this homeowner would need a 5 kW solar system to offset their average electricity consumption.
Can you buy one solar panel at a time?
If you purchase a solar system through a reputable installer you typically can’t buy one solar panel at a time – and it wouldn’t make economic sense anyway.
At its core, solar panels are a home improvement project. And like many upgrades, they require planning, permitting, and inspections – all of which take time, money, and expertise.
In fact, the cost of the solar equipment itself – panels, inverters, racking, etc. – is roughly half of the total cost of installing a solar system. The other half is soft costs like labor, permitting fees, and general overhead.
With that in mind, it’s more resource-efficient for the solar company (and more cost effective for you) to size and install your solar system to meet your current electricity consumption, and near-future needs like EV charging or switching to electric HVAC.
Installing the entire system at once prevents duplicate costs for labor, permitting, shipping, and other soft costs.
Is one solar panel enough to power a house?
No, one solar panel is not enough to power a house. The average solar system has between 10 and 20 solar panels depending on the sun exposure, electricity consumption, and the power rating of each panel.
In 2023, the most common solar panel is 400 Watts, which would produce a maximum of 2,000 Wh (2 kW) of electricity per day in a location that gets 5 hours of peak sunlight per day.
According to the EIA. the average household uses around 30 kWh of electricity per day, so a single solar panel would only provide a fraction of the load.
What is the average cost of a 1 solar panel?
Single solar panels are available online and at big box stores for around 1-1.50 per Watt (often cheaper on secondary markets), depending on the type of panel and how many you’re buying at a time.
Solar companies typically have better pricing for solar panels based on their relationships with manufacturers – similar to how general contractors get better pricing for kitchen cabinets than the Average Joe paying retail price.
Solar panel cost is often lower on marketplaces like solar.com due to competition between local installers. For instance, if an installer knows that potential customers are comparing quotes from multiple installers at once on solar.com, they’re more likely to reduce their price per watt to stay competitive and win more business.
Recap
We analyzed thousands of systems sold on solar.com in 2022 to find the average cost of solar panels per square foot of living space.
This provides a quick way for homeowners to get a baseline of how much solar could cost for a house their size, which can help them avoid scams and make educated decisions during the solar process.
However, we’ll be the first to admit that solar systems are sized based on electricity consumption – not house size. In fact, our data does not show a strong correlation between home size and solar cost at all, due to variables like EVs, air conditioning, and heat pumps.
To get a sense of how many solar panels you’ll need and how much they’ll cost, use your utility bill(s) to see how much electricity you use per month. This is one of the first things a reputable solar installer will ask for during the solar process.
Home solar is a construction project that requires planning, permitting, and inspection. As such, full-service installers typically don’t let you buy or install one panel at a time.
Single panels are available online and at big box stores, but often at a higher price than they would be through a full-service installation company. The way to reduce the cost of going solar is to research incentives and get multiple quotes from local installers.
What is the Average Cost of Solar Panels?
The average cost of solar panels as of Spring 2023 was 3.30 per watt, excluding financing. This price includes hard costs, like hardware and equipment, and soft costs, like installation labor and required permitting.
This cost data comes from a March 2023 Report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) in partnership with Wood Mackenzie Power Renewables.
All that to say, there is no set price for a solar panel system, despite what the internet may say. In reality, your system price will be custom to your specific situation and will depend upon a variety of factors that each solar installation company accounts for a bit differently, including:
- Your energy usage and electricity bill
- System size and efficiency
- Solar panel make and model
- Your location within the U.S.
- Eligible tax credits, incentives, and solar rebates
- Local permitting and utility requirements
- Condition and layout of your roof
Now, we introduced lots of concepts in the first two paragraphs: price per watt, incentives, hard costs, soft costs. It can be a lot to take in. In the rest of this article, we’ll break down these ideas and key terms so you can understand them better. We’ll even provide you with an average savings amount per state so you can get a better sense of how much money you could potentially save on monthly costs should you make the decision to go solar.
If you’re ready to estimate your costs now, head on over to our solar panel cost calculator. Using proprietary Mapdwell technology, we analyze the solar potential of your specific roof to provide you with a preliminary system size recommendation, along with cost and savings estimates.
How Are Solar Energy Systems Typically Priced?
There are many ways solar companies share the price of solar panels. The three most popular include:
In our opinion, the most comprehensive method for pricing solar panels is the gross cost. Let’s explain why and then discuss each pricing model in detail.
Gross Cost
A lot of work goes into ensuring that you can safely turn on your solar power system–much more than simply attaching solar panels to your roof. The gross or total cost of solar panels will typically encompass everything you need to lawfully turn your system on before financial incentives, such as the Federal Solar Tax Credit, are applied.
Yes—that’s right. You cannot lawfully install or power on your system without getting permission from the “authority having jurisdictions” (AHJs) for your area, which are often government entities. Other entities requiring permission may include your local building department and utility company, though the specifics will vary by location. If your home is part of a homeowners association or HOA, there may be additional approvals required.
Other costs not often mentioned but necessary to the successful completion of your solar panel system include:
- System design and engineering
- Equipment and hardware (e.g. module, inverter, racking, and electrical wiring)
- Permitting and inspections
- Installation cost and labor
At Palmetto, our solar estimate factors in these costs so you can better understand what it takes to begin generating electricity with your solar panels.
Price Per Watt
While we prefer using gross cost as our metric, we cannot discount the importance of price per watt. Price Per Watt—or PPW—is based on the maximum power output of a solar energy system, and is shown as the dollar amount per watt of solar energy a system can produce.
Because solar panels vary in both size and efficiency, this allows homeowners to compare costs based on overall system performance, rather than the number of panels or square feet of roof space. PPW is calculated by taking the gross cost of a solar panel system and dividing it by the total wattage, or power capability, of that system.
How do you calculate the size of the solar system you’ll need? That will depend on your energy usage (which you can see on your electricity bill) and how much of that electricity you want to come from solar panels. This is called solar offset, or the percentage of your total energy needs that can be offset by the electricity your solar panels generate in optimal conditions.
Many homeowners target a 100% solar offset when selecting the right system size for their home. The ability to do this will depend on preference, roof specifications, and utility guidelines. To calculate yours, you can use our free solar design and savings estimator tool.
The difference between gross cost and PPW is that the former already factors in system size, while the latter does not. Using PPW, you’ll be able to measure the comparable value of several solar power system quotes that may differ in solar panel types, wattage, and more.
Price Per Panel
You might also see solar panel systems priced by the panel. This metric is often used to price DIY solar panel kits, which we may recommend for your RV or boat, but not for your home.
It’s true that panels do differ in price depending on their make, model, and efficiency. Higher efficiency panels will likely cost more; however, you will not need as many of those panels to generate the same amount of energy created by a larger system that uses cheaper, low-efficiency panels. You could even spend more on those lower efficiency panels because you need to buy more panels for the same amount of electricity.
We rarely see this metric used to price residential solar energy systems because it leaves a lot of valuable information out of the equation.
Understanding the Hard and Soft Costs of Solar
It’s important to understand that the price tag of solar almost always includes more than just the equipment costs. It includes the costs necessary to install and get your system online. Let’s go over hard costs and soft costs so you can better understand them.
Hard Costs of Solar
The hard costs of solar refer to the physical equipment of your solar panel system, including the following:
- Solar panels
- Solar inverter
- Electrical panel
- Mounting and racking
- Electrical equipment
These will vary by solar company, as not all installers offer the same equipment.
Soft Costs of Solar
The soft costs of solar include labor and time taken to make sure you have all the relevant permits and licenses needed to operate your system. This may include but is not limited to the following:
- Permitting fees
- Inspection fees
- Interconnection fees
- Sales taxes (if applicable)
- Supply chain costs
- Installation costs
- Customer acquisition costs
- Transactional fees
The benefit of choosing a solar installer like Palmetto is that we factor these services into the cost of our system. We work on behalf of our customers to make sure their installations meet strict quality standards and that their system receives the correct permits in order to lawfully operate.
What Does It Cost to Lease Solar Panels?
A solar lease is a financial arrangement where the company that installs your solar panel system retains ownership, and you pay a fixed monthly amount to use any electricity the solar panels produce. Leasing solar also helps you lower your utility bill, and is often ideal for homeowners who are on fixed incomes and/or may not be eligible for the solar tax credit.
With this arrangement, you typically don’t pay any upfront costs for the residential solar installation, and your costs are just the subsequent monthly rent. You’ll make that monthly payment for the duration of your lease, and the solar installer is fully responsible for installation and maintenance.
To learn more about solar leases, visit our article that compares leasing vs. buying solar panels.
How Much Do Solar Panels Save?
Because savings may vary by state, we’ve compiled a table of Palmetto customers’ median system size and median estimated total savings. We sorted the data by state, and forecasted savings based on a 25-year lifetime of the system, before breaking that down into monthly savings.
