How Much Does Solar Power Cost

Converting to solar power is a great way to help save the planet and save on utility bills in the future. But most people’s good intentions are nipped at the bud when they find the answer to the question “How Much Does Solar Power Cost”.   In September of 2007, there was a grand total of ONE house in in the U.S. that ran completely on solar and wind power. Today there are thousands of home solar power kits and wind generator kits in homes. 
 

Solar Power Costs Going Down?
How much have solar power cost trends gone down since the 1970’s and how much do they continue to go down every year as more and more companies are determined to lead the way in the relatively new-old field of solar power. The standard to determine how much does solar power cost is called the cost per watt. In 1982, the cost per watt was $27. In 2003, this has dropped to $4. This is expected to drop even further.

How Much Does Solar Power Cost trends for the initial solar power installation are also going down. Most states now give tax breaks or tax refunds to off set any solar cost for homeowners converting to solar energy. Many states have other green incentives, especially in sunshine-heavy California. But even in my state Colorado they just passed a bill amendment 37 that has some huge tax and rebate incentives. The rebate you can take advantage of right now as a homeowner is $4.50/watt. The average cost per watt installed in Colorado is about $9.00, so you’re lined up to save about 50% off the cost of your system with this rebate. I am not there yet but I would love to get to the stage that the utility company is paying ME. What a concept!

You Can "Go All The Way"
Making the big commitment to converting your entire household to renewable energy is a huge leap I did not think I was able to soundly make.   How Much Does Solar Power Cost trends have gone down for common small items such as watches, calculators and cell phone chargers. You can even get the air pump or water heater for your pool off of the utility grid and hooked up to solar power for only a couple of hundred dollars (US). So how come home Solar Power Kits were still so expensive. Until now I have not been able to find an affordable home solar power kits to install. I knew it would pay for itself in years to come but I did not have the resources to shell out 20,000 or more for a system.

The Best Answer I Found

Until I did some extensive research into home Solar power kits and Wind generator kits I thought they were either too hard, or too expensive to have installed in my home. I then came upon the folks at Earth4Energy and my dream became reality! They’re easy to follow steps can actually have you up and running for as little as 200 dollars. That pays for itself in no time. I have done a small review of these guides below. I am far from technically savvy and they were all fairly easy to follow although the electrical work in DIY Home Solar Power kits were a little complicated. I have to admit my brother is an electrician so I will have him help me there. He says its fairly easy I am just a "dunderhead" oh well the "In-Laws" but that’s another subject. Take a look at the guides below click on any of the pictures and you will get more info. I also have some relevant article on the site please have a look
