Solar cost is one of the major consideration for people considering installing solar panels on their roof, however it shouldn’t prevent you from having them installed, because once you get past the initial cost, there are so many long and short term benefits to solar that it would be an injustice to solar to not look further than the initial cost.

Solar PV cost will take roughly 50% of the total solar installation cost. The second most expensive solar power part is the solar inverter, which based on connectivity, can be classified as off grid or grid connected. If you are looking for the estimated total solar price you have to budget please feel free to use the solar cost calculator below:

Please note that the real cost may be higher than the actual solar energy cost you have to pay, depends on what companies you are dealing with. If you want to purchase the solar power parts gradually, be picky with the solar panels. There are many companies offering cheap solar panels but you have to check the efficiency of the panels. Lower efficiency means you have to purchase more panels. They will also need a larger area to occupy. Unless you want to cover your whole roof with these panels you better forget the idea of buying this type of panels.

If power outage does not commonly happen in your area you can also skip the option of having solar batteries in your system. Having them removed can give a better price saving of the total solar cost.
