The question we are most often asked at Sun Solar is “How much will it cost to go solar?”

Many want an instant quote of an average price for going solar, but it’s not as simple as just giving a ballpark figure. We don’t want to make any financial guarantees when the price could vary depending on many factors. Things like the size or square footage of your property cannot determine an estimated cost without considering energy usage.

What we need to know

To better explain our process we created this list of basic factors that are considered when determining the cost of your home or business’s solar system:

• Your average Kilowatt hours used (this is the most important factor)
• How many panels your system needs (this directly relates to usage)
• How much room you have to accommodate the mounting of the panels
• If you are eligible for any rebates or discounts

Aside from those items, there are also other factors that can further effect the customization of your solar system

• Shade- We check your property for any shading that could block your panels. If you have significant shading issues we let you know and discuss options with you.
• Weather data- Weather data will be collected for your home or business through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to find out just how much sun your house can be expected to receive.
