Solar Panel Installation Professional Versus DIY
Estimations based on market prices for May 2023
Solar Energy Prices
The cost of solar energy is now more affordable than ever. You do not have to take out an expensive 25 year loan for over $30,000 just to put solar panels on your home. It is possible to buy 10000 Watts of solar panels for $0.23 per watt. The total cost of the panels could be as little as $2300 for 10000 Watts plus shipping ($300). Don't forget to include the cost of the power inverter, circuit breaker box, wiring and roof top mounting brackets which adds over $2500. You must also pay for the proper building permits and licensed electrical inspection. (Prices are estimated based on current market values for May 2023!)
Typical Low Cost Solar Panels ($0.19 to $0.23/Watt) from China and Canada
Tested By INMETRO (National Institute of Metrology, Standardization, and Industrial Quality) is Brazil's standards organization
The down side is that these panels might not yet be approved by the government for the tax credit. The tax credit might not be worth it because you have to pay a lot more for the fully approved panels and professionally installed solar energy system. For example a DIY system that is 10000 watts could cost $4000-$6000 where as a compariable professionally installed system could cost $30000-$40000. The professionally installation costs 8x more than the DIY installation. There are many videos on Youtube showing how to DIY for your own solar energy system.
