Does More Solar Mean Cheaper Solar?
According to the most recent estimates, up to 30% of the world’s electricity could be generated by solar panels by the year 2030. It’s quite an amazing statistic, especially considering that solar was relatively rare just a generation ago. Lower costs and higher efficiency have made solar popular for families, businesses, and grid-scale developers. Cheaper solar makes it more accessible than ever. In the news this week, some analysts are predicting that solar will become even cheaper thanks to larger scale and increased production. What will this mean for the industry moving forward?
How Economies of Scale Will Benefit Solar
The price of solar panels has decreased over the years. When looking at basic crystalline panels, the price is almost 400x lower in 2022 than in 1977 when significant data was first collected. As a homeowner, this means your installation will be affordable, with an excellent return on investment.
Solar panels at the commercial level should continue to decrease when looking at large-scale installations. Programs like solar farms that power the grid will see significant cost reductions, which is likely to drive more utility companies toward solar generation. While this won’t affect home solar significantly (due to systems being much smaller), it’s still a net positive for the industry. Cheaper solar that continues to get cheaper over time will help America to achieve its clean energy goals.
How Affordable is Home Solar?
SMART solar financing can be used for your residential solar installation. You can get started with no money down, and the cost of financing can be partially covered by federal and New York solar tax credits and incentives.
Home solar is already affordable relative to the savings that you can generate. The average cost of an installation in 2023 is around $16,000. The federal solar tax credit can cover up to 30% of this cost, depending on how much you owe on your tax bill at the end of the installation year.
When you consider that solar can generate tens of thousands in savings over the lifetime of a system, the investment is very much worth it. Once your SMART solar financing is paid off, all of the savings go right back to you.
