Solar price calculator
Answer five short questions and get a realistic price range, cost per watt, net cost after incentives, estimated production, savings and payback for your property — before anyone asks for your phone number.
Not a quote. This is a planning estimate built from state-level market data plus your inputs. Only a site inspection and real installer quote give an exact price. Every assumption below is visible and editable.
1 · Where is the property?
2 · How much electricity do you use?
3 · Site, equipment & battery
4 · Financing & assumptions
Your estimate
Updates live. All figures are estimates — see the assumptions at the bottom.
What the results mean
- Gross $/W — the cash price per watt before incentives. Compare this against your state’s range in the results.
- Net cost — gross minus verified incentives. In 2026 the federal residential credit is $0; only add state/local amounts you have actually verified.
- Payback — simple payback (net cost ÷ year-1 savings) plus a cumulative model. Change the electricity escalation (0/2/4%) and watch it move.
- Financing view — if you choose loan, the tool shows the dealer fee and financed principal, not just the monthly payment.
Privacy, plainly
