Learn if solar is the right fit for your home, what it really costs, and what you can expect in savings.
The price of solar panels has dropped dramatically over the past decade. In 2025, with tax credits still in place, it’s more accessible than ever. Here’s what you need to know:
Pros:
Save up to 50% or more on electric bills.
Federal tax credits cover 30% of the install cost.
Increase your home’s value—solar-ready homes sell faster.
What to consider:
Installation costs range from $15K–$25K before credits.
Your roof’s condition: Replacing shingles after installing solar is costly.
Net metering policies: They vary by utility provider and determine what you earn for feeding energy back to the grid.
If you’re not ready for a full system, consider solar-powered outdoor lighting or a solar water heater as a starter option.
