Prices have dropped significantly, but quality varies widely across suppliers and system types. A complete 5kW solar system in China costs ¥15,000-¥30,000 ($2,100-$4,200), with Tier-1 panels from Longi or Jinko at ¥0.9-¥1.3 ($0.13-$0.18) per watt. Installation adds 10-20% to the total price.
Photovoltaic cost data between 1975 and 2003 has been taken from Nemet (2009), between 2004 and 2009 from Farmer & Lafond (2016), and since 2010 from IRENA. Prices from Nemet (2009) and Farmer & Lafond (2016) have been converted to 2024 US$ using the US GDP deflator, to account for the effects of inflation.
Most residential installations use monocrystalline photovoltaics (PV) panels, which offer up to 24% efficiency and perform better in limited space and extreme temperatures. Polycrystalline panels are cheaper but less efficient (15% to 20%), making them better for homes with ample roof space.
Uses local climate data, your roof measurements, current local electric rates and current solar system cost to generate an accurate solar cost and savings estimate, customized for your home.
