Natalie, one of my clients, had a mother who resembled Erica in many ways. Natalieâs mother had been raped as a young woman; during her childhood, Natalie repeatedly heard that nothing she suffered could ever compare with her motherâs suffering. Natalie felt as if her own experience didnât matter.
The cost of installing solar power on a mid-sized home is between $30,000 to $40,000 dollars, which covers about 30 panels. If youâre connecting off the grid, expect a higher price tag to cover the cost of extra wiring and materials. Those 30 panels will produce about 8350 kW hours of energy a year or 22 kW hours a day.
The average homeowner would save at least $25,000 over 25 years by investing in a solar panel system. So what is the current low-end cost of residential solar power? As of 2017, itâs approximately $3.00 per watt, installed. The average sized solar panel system is 5,000 watts, so this brings the total cost to $15,000. That 15k figure is just an average amount. Systems can cost more or less mostly depending upon a homeownerâs energy usage.
