Solar Pricing FAQ
How much does solar cost after tax credits?
The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) covers 30% of system cost. A $20,000 system costs $14,000 after the ITC. Many states offer additional rebates of $1,000–$5,000.
How long does solar take to pay for itself?
Most residential solar systems pay for themselves in 6–10 years through electricity savings. After payback, you get 15–20 more years of essentially free electricity.
How many solar panels do I need?
The average US home needs 20–25 panels (6–8 kW system) to offset 80–100% of electricity. Your specific needs depend on energy usage, roof orientation, and local sun hours.
