DIY Solar Panel System Cost

drumat5280 asked:
www.solardave.com SolarDave: Please tell me about your solar panel system and how you saved some money? Adam Stevenson: The total of the system and materials was $22K. I ended up spending about another $1800 in permit fees and a structural engineer and $400 for an electrician, several hundred dollars for a guy to come help me out for the two afternoons he spent with me. Xcel (Energy) gave me $16538 rebate. Fix cost based on the number of kilowatts you are installing and has nothing to do …

government wont pay for it cause theres money and business in electric companies…and since that is that the solar companies have the ability to charge alot for ur dedication.

Not really doing much to reduce our dependency on foreighn energy sources. there is a 99% chance his power comes from coal. Many get confused with oil and electricity. I blame Al Gore. Great deal on the price though. Would love to get that set up.

As an electrical contractor thinking about getting into solar, I am interested in your labor “installation hybred”.
I am reminded of the old shop poster: $50 per hour, $60 per hour if you watch, $70 per hour if you help.
I think you learned a valuable lession seeing all that is involved in the process, and the costs associated with them.

Good video and great to see Americans turning to sustainable or renewable energy. It has benefits for the planet but ultimately when all the foreign oil runs out then at least those people who can generate their own electricity can keep the lights on when all about are losing their’s.
However solar panels have to become much cheaper and a lot more efficient if everyone is to use them.

Good job. I assume that when it’s time to replace to roof shingles that the whole unit has to come down first, then be reinstalled after a new roof is put on. And, did you experience any roof leak after the installation? Again, great job.

How do you store the power overnight/rainy days etc? many big batteries? what kind and how long/much charge do they hold?

It’s actually awesome. You can really save a lot of money, and a lot of pollution. I install them, and I’ve learned so much doing so.

Under $8,000 to meet this homeowners electric power needs from solar is certainly one of the least cost, environmentally beneficial implementations I have seen to date.
Congratulations on being a true patriotic American and doing something to reduce our dependency on foreign energy sources.
