Solar panels cost $2.9/watt

While solar panels can be quite expensive, there are many ways to save money on your purchase and still get the best value for your money. It is important to shop around for the best solar installer. To compare prices and services, you should request multiple quotes from different solar companies. Look for customer reviews and feedback on sites. It is best to search for local solar companies rather than large national corporations that will charge you a high price. These companies often offer savings of thousands of dollars for your solar installation.

Many governments and utility providers offer financial incentives that homeowners can use to put solar on their roofs. Texas doesn't offer a state-led solar tax credit. However, there are many programs that can lower your overall cost. For example, Green Mountain Energy offers rebates based on system size. These rebates range in average from $500 to $5625

25-year warranties

In Houston, you can find companies that offer 25-year warranties on solar panels. These warranties cover both the equipment, and the installation process. If a panel breaks, some companies offer free diagnostic services. If the warranty is only for equipment, it will not cover you if your company goes out of business. Others offer complete warranties that protect the entire system.

ADT Solar, a local solar company, offers a warranty of 25 years on all products. This warranty covers panels as well microinverters and labor. The company also offers an app which allows homeowners to track the health and performance their system. ADT Solar also offers roofing services. Green Home Systems, another company offering advanced solar technology and a stylish solar roofing option, is also available.

Payment options

There are many payment options available for those who want to install solar panels on their property. The system can be leased at a low cost upfront. You could also choose to pay a monthly fixed amount for your installed solar panel. This type of payment option is offered by many Houston-based solar companies.

Most of these companies offer a 25-year warranty on their solar systems. This means that you don’t need to worry about panels breaking or losing money by paying too much. Many solar companies offer payment plans with 0% financing. This will help you save money on your initial installation.

System cost

Purchasing a solar system is an excellent way to reduce your energy bills. A solar calculator can help you estimate your savings. The average residential solar system runs in the five-kilowatt range. This can power a home of 2,000 square feet. Larger homes may require eight kW or more.

Installation costs typically range between 10% and 20% of hardware costs. The size of your system will affect installation costs. You can reduce your cost by taking advantage of the federal solar tax credit. It currently stands at 26% and will decrease to 22% when 2022 comes around. This decrease could impact your payback time.
