Answer: $3-$4/Watt
The cost for a customer to purchase a solar array is generally measured as a price per Watt. This number represents the full cost of an installation including design, permitting, materials, and labor.
We offer systems in the range of $2.50-$4.00/Watt depending on your specific situation and needs. That means an average system size of 5 kiloWatts (or 5,000 Watts) would cost between $12,500 and $17,500. You can see from the recent projects in our company portfolio that the size of solar systems varies quite a bit.
In most cases the majority of that cost can be recovered in the very first year after an installation. Federal tax incentives and energy savings pay back the owner’s cost. We are as transparent as possible about pricing because we stand for empowering the customer. We have to make sure our business remains healthy and sound, and at the same time we strive to do our part to keep solar affordable for residents in our region.
