Solar Energy Facts For The Day by Poweraid Solar
Q1? How many panels do I need?
A1: The amount of panels depends on how much roof space you have, shading issues, how large your electric bills are, what you are trying to financially accomplish from solar, and what orientation the panels face to South.
Q2? How much does solar energy for my home cost?
A2: Solar is affordable in comparison to what you are paying to your utility, this is why more and more homeowners are going towards solar energy. The cost is typically between $4,000-$6,000 per Kw-DC installed. The variance comes from the size of the project and additional site specific costs such as electrical work, roof work, and trenching. The typical solar system is between 4-8 Kw-DC. Their is multiple $0 down finance options and lease options available to take away the upfront costs associated with your solar energy install.
Q3? Should I wait tell the next generation of panels is out in the market?
A3: In 2001 the market was offering 175 watt panels, in 2007 there was 205 watt panels, and today there is 255 watt panels all in the same 3′ x 5′ footprint. The technology is getting better, but the federal and state incentives are going away each day as well. The typical home with good sun exposure is able to install at least 70% of their home energy needs. If your electric bills are offer $150 a month there is really no reason to wait.
