Factors that affect the cost of solar energy panels

Years ago, getting solar panels for your home was a big investment. In 2009 a 3kW installation would set you back almost 20 grand. Nowadays, better technology and government rebates have made solar panels more affordable. If you’re looking to buy solar panels, assess these factors in pricing to find the most suitable solar panel for your home.

• Type of solar panel. Photovoltaic panels, which are used for generating electricity, are usually more expensive than solar heating systems.
• Wattage of the solar energy system. The more solar energy your system expects to produce in a given day, the higher the costs.
• Size of the battery, excess electricity must be stored in a battery so that you can continue using generated electricity at night.
• Design of the solar panels. Discrete solar panels with small bezels and nice finishes are possible, but you’d have to pay a premium for it!
