Most solar panel contractors charge around $50 to $100 per hour. You may save $1,000 to $2,500 up-front by choosing a string inverter over a microinverter or hybrid inverter. A solar inverter costs $2,000 on average, with prices often ranging from $1,000 to $3,000. That said, some homeowners spend as little as $800 or as much as $5,000.
Factors that affect solar inverter costs include: System size – Your inverter's input-wattage rating should be close to your solar panel system's output rating. U.S. residential solar panel systems typically fall in the 5 kilowatt range. Efficiency – The industry standard for peak efficiency is 97%.
Depending on the type, contractors install inverters directly on the backside of the solar panel, on the side of the house, on the roof, or inside a garage. Get free estimates from solar panel installers near you. Factors that affect solar inverter costs include:
