As of 2022, the average cost for residential solar installations in the United States was approximately $1.10 per watt. For a typical 5kW (5,000 watts) system, this translates to about $5,500 before incentives. However, prices can vary, so it’s advisable to obtain quotes from local installers for accurate estimates.

Yes, solar panels can be a worthwhile investment in Delaware. The state offers net metering policies, allowing homeowners to receive credits for excess energy produced.

These factors, combined with potential savings on electricity bills, contribute to the financial viability of solar installations in the state.

While Delaware doesn’t directly pay for solar panel installations, it offers incentives that reduce the overall cost.

These incentives effectively lower the payback period and enhance the return on investment for solar installations.
