How much do solar panels cost in 2026?
The average cost of a residential solar system often ranges from $15,000 to $25,000 before incentives. Final cost depends on roof size, equipment, utility rules, financing, and any current state or utility programs.
Are solar panels worth it if I have a small roof?
Yes — modern high-efficiency panels (like SunPower or Panasonic) produce more power per square foot. A solar pro can assess your roof and recommend the best layout.
How long does solar installation take?
Installation typically takes 1–3 days. Permitting and utility approval can take 1–3 months. Most homeowners are generating power within 90 days of signing.
Do I need a new roof before going solar?
If your roof is over 15 years old or showing wear, it's worth replacing first. Removing and reinstalling panels later can cost $1,500–$3,000. A free solar quote will include a roof assessment.
