Frequently Asked Question
How much does solar cost for a 2000 sq ft home?
For a 2,000 sq ft home, solar typically costs about $17,000 to $29,000 before incentives, with plenty of opportunities to lower that total through available credits and rebates.
After applying the 30% federal tax credit, the net cost drops to roughly $12,000 to $20,000. Most homes this size are a great fit for a 6 kW to 8 kW system, and your final price can be tailored to your needs based on your energy use and sun exposure rather than just square footage.

What is the biggest downside to solar electricity?
The biggest downside to solar electricity is that it is naturally intermittent, meaning it produces little or no power at night and less on cloudy days, but pairing solar with the grid or a battery backup makes it simple to keep your home reliably powered while still enjoying clean energy and strong long-term savings.
You can easily plan around this with a grid connection or battery storage, so you still get reliable power while enjoying long-term savings and clean energy benefits.

Can a house run 100% on solar?
Yes, a house can run 100% on solar with a properly sized solar panel system plus enough battery storage to cover nights and cloudy days.
Pairing solar with energy-efficient upgrades and smart energy use (like running big appliances during sunny hours) makes full coverage much more achievable. Many homeowners also choose a grid-tied setup for an excellent balance of reliability and long-term savings.

What is the real payback time for solar installation?
The payback time for a residential solar installation is often a great return, typically landing in the 6-12 year range, depending on your incentives and energy savings.
Many homeowners break even in about 8 to 10 years, depending on system cost, local electric rates, and incentives like the 30% federal tax credit.
After that break-even point, you can enjoy 15 to 20 years of very low-cost electricity, making solar a strong long-term investment.

Will solar increase my home value?
Yes, solar panels will increase your home value, often adding around $15,000 for an average-sized system, with many homes selling for about 4.1% to 10% more than comparable homes without solar.
Owned systems tend to boost value the most and can help homes sell faster because buyers love the idea of lower utility bills and a premium, energy-saving upgrade.
