Initial Cost of a Solar Energy System
The size of the solar array depends on the available sun in your area and the amount of energy that you need for your home or business. GreenLife Technologies can determine the amount of available sun at your site by evaluating the location, orientation, and shading of the solar PV array.
The size of the solar panel system also depends on your electricity needs, which can be determined by evaluating past electricity bills. If you have a new house, GreenLife Technologies can determine your probable needs by analysis and experience from other projects in the area.
The cost of a solar energy system is typically around $3/Watt, but on larger systems of 10kW and more, the price is lower.
Example Savings and Property Value Increase for a Solar Electric System:
Average monthly utility bill | $153 per month |
Estimated system size required | 10kW |
