What Is Bias? A bias is a tendency. Most biasesâlike the preference to eat food instead of paper clipsâare helpful. But cognitive shortcuts can cause problems when we're not aware of them and apply them inappropriately, leading to rash decisions or discriminatory practices.
The average solar energy system size in the U.S is approximately 5 kilowatts (kW). Based on the average price of $3.36/watt, a 5kW system would cost $11,760 after tax credits. Below are some average 2015 quotes for other solar energy systems by size: 6kW solar energy system cost: $15,000. 8kW solar energy system cost: $20,000.
For those looking for a range for the cost of solar panels, the cost will run from as low as $0.85 per watt to $1.25 per watt with output ranging from 150W to 350W for a typical solar panel. If those numbers seem low, remember that an installation has added costs thanks to the inverters, solar batteries and other additional equipment needed for a complete solar energy system.
