Durham Solar Power FAQs
Two direct factors that affect the price of solar arrays are installation costs and solar system sizes. The median cost in North Carolina for a solar array is $4.63 per watt. A standard 7 kW panel would then cost just under $23,000 after factoring in the federal tax credit.
Solar power is popular because it can offer long-term savings. You could save nearly $7,000 over 20 years with solar based on North Carolina’s average electric rate, the 30% tax credit, and median state costs. Energy prices also typically rise with time, meaning your electricity bill savings could gradually increase.
