- Average Cost Per Kilowatt in US: $7 – $9 per watt
- Average Cost Per Kilowatt in Arizona: $3.50 – $5.00 per watt
Although, just because solar is so cheap doesn’t mean you should just go out and buy the biggest and baddest solar system thinking it’s going to save you the most money, it won’t! I thought installing solar panels helps save money? Well, you’re right… sort of, but hear us out.
The Problem With Arizona Homes & Businesses
When Arizona was developed, most settlers were using design plans based off east coast/midwest construction methods. These plans did not include 120 degree temperatures, dry air and always sunny days. Arizona homes and business are not built correctly for this hot/dry climate and most homes and facilities have major inefficient energy problems forcing them to purchase larger air conditioning units than they need. Most solar companies are going to try to sell you a large solar system based on your high energy and A/C usage, when more importantly you need to solve your high energy usage problem first.
How Our Solar Company Is Different
GreenLife Energy Experts noticed the energy inefficiency problems with most Arizona homes and business and decided that instead of selling you a larger solar system, make the rest of your home or business more energy efficient first. Everything from installing insulation and radiant barrier to wrapping your air ducts with TCM and installing mini split systems. That way you only pay a few thousand dollars on energy efficient upgrades that save you $10,000 – $20,000 dollars by only installing a smaller solar system.
Cost Per Watt Based On Solar System Size
Depending on the size of solar system you need, the cost per wat will be based on the system size. For example: The way you figure out how much you system is going to cost is easy. The average sized system in Arizona is around 7 kilowatts, (7 kilowatts = 7,000 watts). 7,000 watts multiplied by $3.75 per watt, as we can see in the chart below, would cost you $26,250 (7,000 watts x $3.75 per watt = $26,250).
- 0 – 3.4 watt solar system = $5.00 per watt = $15,000 – $17,000
- 5 – 4.4 watt solar system = $4.50 per watt = $17,500 – $19,800
- 5 – 5.4 watt solar system = $4.00 per watt = $18,000 – $21,600
- 5 – 6.9 watt solar system = $3.75 per watt = $20,625 – $25,875
- 0 – 15.0 watt solar system = $3.50 per watt = $24,500 – $52,500
*These costs are based off financing solar panels, if you pay cash for solar, you can take off $.50 cents per watt across the board.
How Much Can You Save With Solar Panels In Arizona?
You can save as much as 97-99% on electricity by installing solar panels in Arizona. Although, you are going to pay a steeper cost to do so if you only decide to install solar panels. Your home or business is most likely very energy inefficient and it doesn’t make since to pay such high costs for solar when all you need a few energy efficient upgrades and a small solar system.
Most Homes & Business In Arizona Aren’t Insulated Properly
The biggest problems with most homes in business in Arizona are lack of insulation and radiant barrier solutions. Also, even the homes and businesses that are taking advantage of radiant barrier aren’t doing it correctly. Current radiant barrier technology fails time and time again once dust is introduced to your attic leaving it ineffective to reflect heat. This means it stops working! This means you are no longer saving money from that investment. Then when you decide to call your insulation contractor he says that he can’t help you, there are no guarantees with radiant barrier! We want to change that!
