The U.S. Department of Energy''s solar office and its national laboratory partners analyze cost data for U.S. solar photovoltaic systems to develop cost benchmarks to measure progress towards goals and guide research and development
Current market trends indicate that solar PV systems consistently deliver electricity at rates between $0.04 and $0.10 per kWh in most regions, representing a significant
Generally speaking, a typical solar system in the U.S. can produce electricity at the cost of $0.06 to $0.08 per kilowatt-hour. This price is comparable to the prices of solar
Generally speaking, a typical solar system in the U.S. can produce electricity at the cost of $0.06 to $0.08 per kilowatt-hour. This price is comparable to the prices of solar electricity in Louisiana ($0.0771), where it still

Solar panel costs can be affected by many factors, including system size, type of panel and home electricity needs. We break down these and other factors in our solar panel cost guide.
This number, the cost per kWh is then used to compare that price to the price you pay to your electricity company. Generally speaking, a typical solar system in the U.S. can produce electricity at the cost of $0.06 to $0.08 per kilowatt-hour.
The average cost of a 12 kW solar panel installation on EnergySage is $20,754 after the federal tax credit. You'll probably save anywhere from $34,000-$120,000 over 25 years by going solar. Solar panels are just 12% of the total cost of a solar panel installation.
Today’s premium monocrystalline solar panels typically cost between 30 and 50 cents per Watt, putting the price of a single 400-watt solar panel between $120 to $200, depending on how you buy it. Less efficient polycrystalline panels are typically cheaper at $0.25 per Watt. The cost of a solar panel also depends on how you buy it.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a typical U.S. household installs a 5kW solar system. The solar panel cost is a portion of the total price you have to pay for installing solar panels. At the current average cost of $2.71 per Watt, a typical 5kW system will cost you $13,550.
On the high end, we talked to a solar customer in Hawaii who spent $100,000 going solar. Dion in Nevada said their 10-kW system cost about $20,000, which is about the national average price for a 7-kW system. What else affects solar installation costs?
Take control of your energy costs with solar power. Solar panels generate “free” electricity, but installing a system still costs money. A typical American household needs a 10-kilowatt (kW) system to adequately power their home, which costs $28,241 in 2025.
