The image is from the Open PV Project of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It shows the national average cost of an installed PV system at $7.15/ watt. Our last few installs worked out to be about $5.50 to 6.00/ watt. These were projects that were pretty straight forward roof mount, grid tie systems. Special mounting options or offgrid installations are more expensive.
Our selection of the latest technology and reduced panel prices have contributed to making solar more affordable. Being able to take advantage of the tax credits reduces the cost even more.
Let's hope America continues to promote all types of renewable energy for far into the future. We need it.
