Going solar in the Indianapolis area has become more affordable over time.
Going solar has become more affordable with time for Indianapolis homeowners. Determining the cost of a solar system, though, will depend on a few different factors: your home, electricity use and ongoing energy goals. Our experts can help you determine the cost and come up with a solution made specifically for your home to address your unique needs, including how many solar panels will be necessary.
Calculating Your Solar Panel Cost
It can be hard to calculate the average cost of solar panels, given that every home is different. That being said, you can estimate how much solar panels will cost for your home by using dollars per watt. Watts is how you measure how much energy your home uses, as well as the unit of measurement for solar production.
We can determine the number of panels your Indianapolis home will need based on how many watts your home typically uses. From that number, our solar experts can create a customized solar solution for your home. The number of solar panels needed for your home plus installation costs will be the determining factors for how much it costs you to go solar.
