Solar power is usable energy generated from the sun in the form of electric or thermal energy. Solar energy is captured in a variety of ways, the most common of which is with photovoltaic solar panels that convert the sun’s rays into usable electricity. Aside from using photovoltaics to generate electricity, solar energy is commonly used in thermal applications to heat indoor spaces or fluids. Residential and commercial property owners can install solar hot water systems and design their buildings with passive solar heating in mind to fully take advantage of the sun's energy with solar technology.
What range of costs should you expect to see in quotes for a solar panel system? Solar panel costs for an average-sized installation in the U.S. usually range $11,144 to $14,696 after solar tax credits, and the average price per watt for solar panels ranges from $2.51 to $3.31.
