Cost of a sample job
Every house is different, but solar consultant George Engelbrecht says that the typical suburban installation system is a 7280-
watt system utilizing 26
solar panels (280 watts each.) At $4.00
per watt, the total cost would be $29,120.00.
Then the deductions begin: a state rebate of $5,096, a state tax credit of $5,000 and a federal tax credit of $8,736. That brings the net cost down to $10,288.00.
The savings the first year would be $2,347, Engelbrecht said.
