SOLAR
EQUIPMENT PRICES
Solar equipment is mainly standard and its costs is very similar
at the manufacturer level.
The price of a PV system is
often in the range $13,000-$20,000 per home, but
rebates and tax incentives may reduce that price. In California,
for instance,
the prices can be cut to around $6,500 (for a 2,475
DC Watt), after cash rebates and federal tax credits.
Note: These values are mere references. They don’t cover all
situations; they are just a guiding range.
Remember that the cost of solar energy systems depends
strongly on the heating requirements
(which depend on the
insulation
levels of your home or on its residents style of life and uses
or on solar rebates, tax incentives and subsidies
given by
governments
and states).
See below, a sample of current competitive prices
for PV panels/modules in several manufacturers.
SAMPLE OF CURRENT PV ELECTRIC 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 the panels: see
PV photovoltaic systems.
Notice that prices depend mainly on the Watts/Volts of the Panels,
and that the more standard
wattage in panels are around 150-200
Watts.
