How much will a solar panel or solar system cost?

Usually, solar panels are always bought with an inverter, so we refer to the cost of the solar power system, rather than the cost of a solar panel.  A key factor affecting cost is the size of the solar system you require.  

A small 1.5Kw system can generate 7 units of electricity.  This system would require fewer panels than a much larger 5Kw system, that can generate 22 units of electricity. To give you a rough guide, a 1.5 Kw solar system costs in the region of $2,500, compared to a 5Kw system that will cost nearer $5,000.  However, there are always competitive deals to be had and solar system prices will vary according to requirements.

Besides the size of the system, there are other factors that affect cost of Solar Panels.  These may include:

Rebates and incentives are also still available.  Currently, you will receive 7c per Kw that is fed back into the grid, and both companies and home owners receive large discounts in the form of Small- Scale Technology Certificates (STC’s), and Renewable Energy Certificates (REC’s).
