The price of electricity generated by new solar panels

4 FAQs about [The price of electricity generated by new solar panels]

How much do solar panels cost?

The price of solar panels changes depending on where you live, but the average for installation is just under $29,000 or $2.75 per watt. On the high end, we talked to a solar customer in Hawaii who spent $100,000 going solar. Dion in Nevada said their 10-kW system cost about $20,000, which is about the national average price for a 7-kW system.

How much does a solar system cost per watt?

As of publishing, the average cost per watt is $2.84. Most solar companies set the price according to the solar system''s wattage. A solar installation''s “cost per watt” is a little like the “price per square foot” when you buy a house. It helps compare the value of solar energy systems in different sizes.

How much does a solar system cost in 2025?

Solar panels generate “free” electricity, but installing a system still costs money. A typical American household needs a 10-kilowatt (kW) system to adequately power their home, which costs $28,241 in 2025. That price effectively drops to $19,873 after considering the full federal solar tax credit.

Is the cost of UK solar PV electricity decreasing over time?

From our results below, it is clear that the cost of UK solar PV electricity is quickly decreasing over time, across all PV system sizes for both approaches used. Although the cost decrease is slowing down over time, it is still very significant, even in the last several years.
