SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION COST & SAVINGS

Solar Panel Installation Cost & Savings

Home solar panel installation costs range from $14,000 to $35,000 on average (with the 30% federal tax credit taken into account), but that cost doesn’t tell the whole story. When compared to the cost of your current electricity bill, solar panels show thousands of dollars in savings over time – sometimes paying for themselves twice over! That’s on top of the increase in home value and environmental benefits of solar.

Maximizing Your Solar Investment

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION COST BREAKDOWN

What goes into the cost of home solar? Let’s break it down! The bulk of the cost for a project will be split between the cost for the actual components (solar panels, inverter, mounting system, wiring, conduit, etc.) and labor costs. Additional costs include permit fees and local sales tax. Each of these will be itemized clearly on your personalized quote.

NO HIDDEN COSTS

We want you to be able to access the savings that come with a home solar installation. When you get a quote from Namaste Solar, you can be sure that your total solar panel installation cost will be clearly stated before you decide to say yes or no to solar. No last-minute changes or hidden fees.

FLEXIBLE PAYMENT OPTIONS

We offer multiple financing options through multiple lending partners, including $0-down financing.

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION COSTS & BENEFITS

There are many ways to slice and dice the economic benefits of solar. One way to assess the value of solar is calculating the payback period (how long it takes for a solar install to pay for itself) by taking the overall system price and dividing it by the average projected solar savings each year. For example, if your total solar panel installation cost is $28,000 and you’re projected to save about $2,000 a year, then your payback period would be 14 years (an average payback period here in Colorado).

Another way to look at the return on your solar panel installation cost is to calculate your annual rate of return. If you have a 14-year payback period, you are getting 1/14th of your investment back each year or a 7% annual return. That’s excellent for a return on a low-risk investment option! And remember… any solar savings after those 14 years go straight into your pocket! No capital gain taxes, no delay, and low risk.

Our Most Recent Google Reviews

I cant say enough about Namaste Solar. They were with us every step of the way. They carefully evaluated our available sun exposure and provided a realistic timeline for a financial breakeven point. In our case, about 13 years assuming we could offset 75% of our needs with solar. Their engineers evaluated our roof and made design recommendations to support the weight of the panels. These improvements were done by Namaste at the time of install. The first attempt at install had to be delayed as the installer noted atypical roof deterioration and recommended we have that evaluated before install to avoid having to remove the panels for a new roof. At this point, the panels were on the roof and had to be reloaded onto the truck. Our shingle manufacturer agreed that the roof was failing (not from hail damage) and replaced the roof. The second attempt at instal went smoothly and we are up and running. Technical support to get the monitoring system running was excellent. A technician came to our home, installed a wireless extender (at no additional charge), and made sure I could operate the system. Namaste employees were extremely, friendly, helpful, competent and professional in every way. I recommend them highly.
Namaste was so easy to work with. They were professional, on schedule, made everything understandable. We are so happy to have reduced electricity bills and to be contributing to carbon reduction for our city and the planet!
I chose Namaste Solar because they’re a worker owned company. I figured that if people have a stake in the company they work for, they’ll do a good job. With the solar panels installed, they not only did a good job, but an excellent job.
