How Much Does Solar Cost?

21 May 2021

One of the first questions we always get asked is what the average residential solar system costs. The answer really depends on many factors including the size of your house, whether or not you have a pool, how much you use the air conditioner or if you have an electric car.

The average cost of a solar system in California is based on a 2000 sq. ft home and is about $30,000. Depending on the factors mentioned above it could be more or less than that, but that’s a good baseline to start with. The goal with solar is to not generate more power than what you use but to offset your average historical power usage.

We always say that it’s better to start with fewer panels on your roof and add on to your system if your energy usage increases over time.
