Solar panels are more affordable than ever. Find out what works for your home!
Thanks to technological advancements in solar power, adding solar panels to your Cincinnati-area home has become more affordable. The cost of a solar system, however, will still depend on a few unique factors: your home’s physical attributes and location, your electricity use and ongoing energy goals. Our solar experts can help you come up with a custom solution that addresses your home’s particular needs, including how many solar panels will be needed.
Calculating Your Solar Panel Cost
Every home is different, so the average cost of a solar system is hard to calculate. With that said, you can estimate the cost for solar panels for your own home using dollars per watt. Watt is the measurement used to determine how much energy your home uses, as well as how we measure solar production.
You can determine the number of solar panels for your Cincinnati home using the number of watts your home typically requires. Once that number is found, our solar experts can design a personalized solar solution for your home. The number of panels needed for your home plus installation costs will determine the overall total cost for going solar.
