When considering a solar installation, Idaho homeowners want to know about pricing. And while questions about cost are completely understandable, there are no easy answers, as every photovoltaic project is unique.
Talking to a professional solar contractor is the best way to figure out how much you’ll need to budget – and most offer free consultations and estimates, so you can discuss your project costs without any obligation. But generally speaking, the price for solar installation in Idaho is based upon the following.
Solar System Configuration
How many solar panels are necessary to power your Idaho home? Are you planning to maintain your connection with the utility grid? Will you be installing a rooftop PV system or a ground-mounted photovoltaic array? Size, setup and placement all play large roles in determining solar installation costs.
Solar Component Quality
You no doubt want to keep your costs as low as possible, but are you willing to spend a little more for high-quality photovoltaic equipment? Premium solar components provide optimal performance, saving you more money overall – and bringing you savings for longer – than components of lesser quality.
Simplicity of Solar Installation
Does your Idaho home have an irregular roofline? Are there obstructions like skylights and dormer windows? The more complicated your solar installation, the higher you can expect the costs to be – and though you may think a ground-mounted photovoltaic array would be simpler, the additional equipment required will increase your project costs.
Solar Installation Incentives
Did you know that Idaho homeowners are eligible for the federal solar tax credit? If you install your photovoltaic array before the end of 2022, claiming this incentive amounts to saving 26 percent on your installation costs. You may also qualify for state and local incentives, and by taking advantage of every offer, you can save a great deal of money.
Choice of Solar Contractor
Going for the lowest price might be the best option when you’re buying groceries, but that isn’t the case when it comes to choosing a solar contractor. Experience matters, and though working with a trusted local industry leader may not be the cheapest option in terms of upfront costs, it’s the best way to make sure your investment pays off.
