We hear it all the time. The answer to the question “How much does solar cost? Can you just give me a price” is more often than not, “well, it depends…”
This is because solar pricing has a lot of variables. Things such as the type of system required, the type of roof, the direction of the house, products used, are all things that need to be factored in when quoting on a solar installation. Not to mention the effect that the fluctuation exchange rate can have on solar pricing.
Which is why we think the best way to give you a ballpark figure to work with, is to simply use real world examples.
Harrison Homes has been a long standing supplier of ours and has been kind enough to share some of his recent work and prices with us. Hopefully this will help guide you with what you need to budget for for your solar installation.
