What Sets the Price of a Solar Panel Installation

The price of a solar installation comes down to the size of the system, the type of roof it goes on, how much energy the house uses and what the property itself needs. Two neighbors on the same street can get very different numbers for good reasons.

These five things move the price most:

  • System size

    More panels cost more, so the system is sized around your power bill rather than the biggest array the roof can hold.

  • Roof type

    Tile, shingle and "standing seam metal roof" each mount differently, and a metal roof's panels clamp to the seams with no drilling.

  • Energy usage

    A house that runs the air conditioning hard needs more production to cover it, and that sets how many panels go up.

  • Equipment

    A "string inverter" or a "microinverter" under each panel, plain or high-efficiency panels, and a battery or none all change the total.

  • Permitting

    The permit, the inspection and the utility's "interconnection" paperwork are part of every job, and the property decides how much of it there is.

How a Firm Solar Quote Is Set

A firm quote comes after a site survey, once the roof's condition, the electrical service, the equipment and the permitting have all been checked on the house itself. Until then, any figure is an estimate.

The survey settles four things before the price is fixed:

  • Roof condition

    A roof that will need replacing soon adds the later cost of taking the panels off and putting them back, the trade's "R&R", so it is better found now.

  • Electrical service

    The main electrical panel has to take the new system, and what it needs to get there shows up only when someone opens it.

  • Equipment

    The panels, the inverter and the "racking" that holds them are chosen for this roof, and the price follows the parts on the list.

  • Permitting

    The permit, the inspection and the utility's "permission to operate" each take paperwork, and the survey shows what this property needs.

Once those four are settled, we quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.

Typical Solar Panel Installation Prices

A solar panel installation in Palm Beach Gardens typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the figure climbs with the size of the system and the work the roof needs. Read these as ranges for the area, never as a quote.

Solar Financing: Loans, PACE and Leases

A solar system is paid for in cash, with a zero-down loan, through PACE financing or with a lease. Which one suits a house comes down to whether you want to own the panels and how you'd rather spread the cost.

Solar is paid for in one of these four ways:

  • Own it outright

    Cash

    The system is paid for up front and is yours from the day it is switched on, with no loan to carry.

  • Own it, pay over time

    Zero-down loan

    A solar loan with nothing down, paid off over a set term. Some come as same-as-cash offers.

  • Tied to the property

    PACE financing

    Property Assessed Clean Energy financing is repaid through an assessment on the property tax bill instead of a monthly loan payment.

  • Use it, don't own it

    Lease

    You pay to use panels that someone else owns, rather than buying the system yourself.

Solar loans run on terms of 5 to 25 years, so the monthly figure depends as much on the term as on the system.

More questions about the money

Owners weighing solar ask about resale value, the tax credit and their power bill. Here is what we tell them.

Solar and Home Value

Yes, solar can add value: homes with solar panels have sold for an average of about 4.1 percent more than homes without them. That is an average across sales, not a promise for any one house.

The Federal Residential Clean Energy Credit

No, the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit does not apply to systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. The IRS page on the Residential Clean Energy Credit sets out the dates, so price a new system without it.

Utility Rates and Solar Savings

Utility rates that rise year after year can make owning solar more attractive, because every kilowatt-hour the panels make is one you are not buying at the new rate. Rates have been rising 4 to 6 percent a year.

Net metering adds to that by crediting the power your system sends to the grid against your bill, and the U.S. Department of Energy's Homeowner's Guide to Solar walks through how those credits work.
