PV Solar Panels prices

The price of a domestic Photovoltaic (PV) system, for solar electricity production, may vary widely. Prices around $10,000 to $20,000 are possible. However, whatever the initial price, rebates and tax incentives may hugely reduce the final prices.

In California and other American states, prices can be cut to an average of $6,500 for a 2,475 DC Watts system, after cash rebates and Federal tax credits.

Sample of Current PV Solar Panel Prices

Remember that a PV system is a solar array that involves a set of solar panels (each of which involves a set of solar modules, each of which involves a set of PV cells). The prices below refer to individual panels...

Remember also that a PV electric solar systems involve other components besides panels, and that stand alone systems are more expensive than grid-tied ones: see PV Photovoltaic systems.

Notice that prices depend largely on the panels Watts/Volts, and that the more standard panels wattage is around 150-200 Watts.
