Cost of Going Solar

The cost of a solar electric system can vary significantly depending on the amount of power required for the home. A home with a $50/month electric bill will require a completely different system than a home with a $500/month electric bill. An average size system is 3kW and will usually cost about $18,000 after solar energy rebates and incentives. The exact system cost will depend upon the ease of installation, roof access and sun exposure.

Here is a summary of the solar services and equipment that we provide with our complete turnkey solar power system installations:

• Detailed site survey, energy bill analysis, financial analysis (including NPV and cash flows using your parameters) and complete design and installation proposal.
• Planning and building department applications and permit paperwork, prepared by a qualified design engineer.
• All equipment, mounting hardware, conduit and electrical components.
• Coordination of building department and utility inspections.
• Commissioning and training on your solar power system.
• State Energy Commission and Utility applications.
• Rebate and Utility claim forms and final paperwork.
• Post sales service, support and maintenance.

Most of the components you need for a solar energy system can be found and purchased on the Internet. Buying the raw materials will be cheaper than the complete services that SolarLogic provides - just as it is cheaper to buy electrical components at Home Depot to wire your own home. Moreover, much of the equipment being advertised on the web is not state-of-the-art, and may not be compatible with your inverter, UL, State Energy Commission and local utility requirements. Our complete turnkey solar energy system provides tremendous value to the customer that cannot be found elsewhere.
