How Much Will Solar Cost?
Thanks to the innovative solutions provided by REACH, solar energy is more affordable than ever. The vast majority of customers will have no out-of-pocket costs, removing the stress of high upfront installation bills.
How Much Can I Save?
The benefits of solar panels are not limited to lower utility bills, they also decrease reliance on the power grid. The ability to generate and use your own electricity during daylight hours reduces the need for power from another, fossil fuel driven, source. Solar panels save money and offer a viable, sustainable energy approach.

Frequently asked questions
-
Solar system owners often realize significant financial savings over the life of their solar installation. The magnitude of these savings depends on several elements, such as the scale of your solar array, the amount of sunlight your home is exposed to, the electricity rates charged by your utility provider, whether you are involved in solar buyback and net metering schemes, and the local incentives that are accessible to you.
-
Solar panels are designed to last long, typically coming with a 25-year warranty from manufacturers. In many cases, these panels continue to generate power effectively even after this period, although there may be a slight reduction in efficiency.
-
Solar panels can generate electricity not only when exposed to direct sunlight but also during cloudy or overcast days. However, the amount of electricity produced is closely tied to the level of sunlight available. Our team can evaluate your roof's orientation to assess its suitability for solar energy installation.
-
Yes, you will. If your solar system remains connected to the grid, you will still receive a bill from your utility provider. When your system is not generating electricity, your home will rely on the grid for power. Any excess energy produced by your system will be sent back to the grid, possibly earning you credits from the utility company and leading to additional reductions in your bill.
-
Net metering is a billing system that rewards solar energy system owners for the electricity they feed into the grid. If your solar panels produce more electricity than you use, the surplus energy is sent back to the grid, leading to a credit on your utility bill. The value of this credit depends on the regulations set by your utility provider.
-
The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows homeowners to reduce a portion of their solar costs from their tax bill. Taking advantage of this tax credit when filing taxes can lead to lower or even no tax liabilities for homeowners. Recently, the ITC value has been raised from 26% to 30%, making the switch to solar energy even more appealing.
-
Accordingg to data from the Center for Sustainable Energy, the costs of residential solar panel systems can vary significantly, with calculations based on a system that can generate five kilowatt-hours of energy, costing an average of $3 to $5 per watt.
Various factors can influence where your solar system falls within this cost range. The choice of solar panels, including brand and power capacity, can have a significant impact on overall costs. Additionally, it's important to note that solar incentives vary by location across the country.
Nationally, homeowners have the opportunity to take advantage of the solar investment tax credit (ITC), which has fluctuated over the years. The ITC previously offered a 30% tax deduction but reduced to 26% in 2020 and then to 22% in 2021. However, in August 2022, the solar tax credit was reinstated to 30% and extended through 2032.
Different states offer various solar energy incentives. For example, states like California provide rebates for homeowners adopting solar batteries, net energy metering programs, and property/sales tax exemptions to help reduce costs. In contrast, some states may offer minimal or no solar incentives. For detailed information on available incentives and rebates in your state, you can refer to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) website.

Determining the specific requirements for a solar power system involves taking into account various factors. Typically, the average homeowner needs around 30 solar panels to fully power a house. It's important to note that the exact power requirements can vary depending on your location and the type of solar panels selected.
As per the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average American household consumes just under 11,000 kilowatt-hours per year. While some regions receive more daily sunlight hours on average, a solar system consisting of 30 250-watt panels is generally sufficient to meet the energy needs of the typical American home.
However, this estimate can vary significantly based on factors such as the size of your home, daily sun exposure, insulation quality, appliance efficiency, and other considerations.
The wattage of your panels is another factor to consider. Modern solar panels can generate up to 400 watts or even more. For example, if you live in a sunny location like Arizona and opt for 400W solar panels, you may only need around 20 panels to power your entire home.
