The average pre-incentive cost of home solar is $29,161 for a three-bedroom house, or $20,412 after claiming the 30% tax credit. However, as shown in the chart below, the number of bedrooms isn’t a great indicator of the size and cost of a solar system – and neither is living space, for that matter.
As shown in a growing number of countries, electricity production from residential PV solar systems can be cheaper than the variable part of residential electricity prices, depending on the actual electricity price and the local solar radiation level.
Adding a conservative safety margin of 0.8 EUR cent/kWh on top of the 2.7 EUR cent /kWh results in an electricity price of 2.9 to 3.5 EUR cent/kWh after the 20-year financial payback period, depending on the actual solar radiation.
Let’s compare the average cost of a solar system purchased through solar.com (6-8 cents per kWh) to the average cost of utility electricity in each state. How Much Does Electricity Cost in 2024?
The same holds true for the variable part of the electricity price, which can vary between EUR 0.075 and 0.26 per kWh. Nevertheless, PV-generated electricity for the lower ROI financing options, which are more realistic for private consumers, is already cheaper for a large number of European Union citizens.
Depending on which state you live in, your average 6kW solar panel system will cost between to install after accounting for the 30% solar tax credit. Still, if you’re on the go, we believe thin-film solar panels are a good fit for RVs because of their lightweight properties.
