Usually panels are between 100 and 300 watts; thus, solar panels cost between $400 and $1,500. However, once installed, your monthly payments will be next to nothing, saving you a fortune. Solar panels sound pricey, but they are a long-term project that will save you money in the long run. After you’ve purchased solar panels and time passes, you will see how much money you saved by not spending hundreds of dollars on bills. Also, since solar panels have become so increasingly popular, the installation prices have decreased over the past few years.
