Installed cost will run from $10/watt to $13watt for what is called a 'on grid system' meaning you are hooked to an electric meter now. (30 to 40 thousand dollars)
A standard 3-Kwh system costs between $25,000 and $40,000 installed, before rebates and incentives. About 50 percent of the system's total price is the panels; 30 percent to 35 percent of the cost is an inverter (for the 'on grid system' which turns the direct-current electricity 'DC' the panels produce into the alternating current 'AC' that you can use), a forward- and reverse-running meter, mounting hardware, conduit, and wire; the remaining 15 percent to 20 percent is labor, permit fees, and taxes. Maintenance costs are extra.
If you want an 'off grid system' you'll have to add nearly a third or more the system cost for batteries inverters etc.

How is sunshine free like solar energy?
Sunshine is solar energy. It is free if you collect your own solar energy because nobody legally owns the sun (and nobody ever will), therefore solar energy from the sun is free. However if you depend on a thrid party to deliver the energy to you from a solar power station, it will cost you a maintenance and delivery fee, to pay for the upkeep of the station. However, if you install your own solar panels rather than relying on a third party, it will cost you to install solar panels on your home, to convert your home to using solar energy and to take your home "off the system" (to remove your dependency from nationally-produced power). But it will not cost you anything to use solar energy from your own solar panels. In a couple of years, you would have produced enough personal energy from solar power to make the cost of the conversion worth it.
