How much does it cost to install solar panels?
The average American house uses less than 12,000 kilowatt hours a year and a 1 kW (kilowatt) solar panel system produces about 2,000 kWh a year. So you would need a 6 kW solar panel system to produce enough energy to fuel your house. Right now solar panel systems of that size would cost around $45,000 to buy and install. This means it would take about 37 years to pay off the cost of buying the system (income tax reductions included). The bad thing is the life span of solar panels today are 25-30 years so you most likely won't get your money back.
Are solar panels worth the money?
In the long term installing solar panels is worth the money. For example, a household of 2 adults and 3 children, before they got solar panels their monthly bill was $200 (AUD). But after they got solar panels their monthly bill was $45 (AUD). That was a saving of $155 (AUD). The solar power altogether was $1800 (AUD) so in a year the savings in the power bills would equal $1860 (AUD). Thats $60 (AUD) over what the cost of the solar power. In my opinion, solar power is worth the money.
