Save Money

A home solar system pays for itself by lowering or eliminating your electricity bill for decades. Think of it like buying in bulk. Solar allows you to lock in your electricity cost, insulating you from rising electricity prices. Instead of paying the utility, you’ll be putting those savings back in your pocket.

Let’s look at some average solar panel installation costs:

  • Home solar panel installation costs range from $20,000 to $50,000 on average depending on how much electricity you use, your future electrification goals, and other factors.
  • The 30% federal tax credit is available now – that’s $6,000 to $15,000 in savings on average.
  • $0-down financing options make solar more accessible.

Installing Solar Panels for Your Home

Common Solar Questions

Solar panels carry 25–year warranties with life expectancies of 40+ years. Read more about solar panel lifespan and maintenance.

Solar panels are built with high‐impact tempered glass. The solar industry standard dictates that panels should be able to withstand golf ball-sized hail. If your solar panels do suffer any hail damage, you can claim the damage via your homeowner’s insurance policy. Read more about how solar panels stand up to hail.

Namaste Solar uses high‐efficiency panels that reach up to 22% efficiency and produce about 20 watts per square foot. Although efficiencies can reach up to 30% or more, the cost is usually prohibitive except for military or space applications.

The average residential system size is about 8-10 kW. That said, averages won’t help in sizing a solar system for your specific home or business any more than an “average” shoe size will help you find a comfortably fitting shoe. Our team will provide you with a no-pressure quote to see what solar could look like for your home.

Very little, if any. Solar panels are relatively lightweight, so there are rarely any structural modifications required. Conduit and wire must be installed from the solar panels to the electrical service panel. Typical installations take only 1–3 days with only 1 hour without power.

Not typically. Our designers will evaluate your main breaker panel and service size prior to designing the PV solar array though, and let you know if a main panel upgrade is required.

If i could give Namaste a rating of 10, I would. Everyone that I interacted with was very professional and a pleasure to work with. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. The attention to detail during the install was exceptional
When I decided to install solar panels, I went with Namaste as recommended by a friend. I’m glad I did. The entire experience was great. Everyone was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. Namaste took care of the entire process, from design of the system, structural evaluation of my roof, submitting city and Xcel permits and inspections, and the installation. Tristen Klein was my first contact and he walked me through the design and installation process, answered the contract questions I had and was very knowledgeable and helpful. The scheduler, Brin, and project manger, Will, kept me informed as the process was moving forward. When installation day arrived, the team of Jared (hope I spelled that correctly) and Nick arrived at my home precisely when scheduled and began work immediately. They were unbelievably hard workers and knowledgeable, changing out my service panels and indulging my unending questions and “supervision” with friendly and courteous replies. Same experience the next two days as the installation was completed. The final step was inspection by the city and Will took care of the minor changes requested by the inspector within an hour. I can’t stress enough how impressed I am with Namaste and their total project management process. I highly recommend Namaste for anyone thinking of adding solar to their home or business!
I’ll break my review down into phases:Sales: We worked with Tristan, who was extraordinarily generous with his time and perspective. There was zero pressure, and a ton of useful information. Side note – we received proposals from two other vendors, and Namaste’s proposal included rebates that didn’t appear in the others, and also called out design constraints that the others didn’t. The price, for nearly identical equipment, came into the same range as the other quotes we received. Tristan also was very helpful in finding the specific financing package we wanted. Possibly the easiest big-ticket purchase process we’ve taken on.Project Management/Scheduling: Brin and Will took on design and project management for our install. Information was timely and accurate, and it was easy to see exactly where in the process we were. Our installation was even scheduled 5 weeks earlier than originally quoted.Installation: Mike, John and Omar were our installation team, and they did a phenomenal job. Our house has a gambrel roof with a peak 25′ above ground, so it was tricky maneuvering in a steep, tight space. Added to that, our 125 year old house threw monkey wrenches into the works, making cabling from the roof to the basement a challenge. No problem for this crew. Very friendly, very professional, and they just seemed to be having fun at it.Everything was left tidy, and the installation looks great!About an hour after install I received an email indicating that final inspection would be scheduled for the next day.Intangibles: Working with a local company was important to us. Also, when sorting out code questions with the city inspector, they mentioned that “Namaste has been doing this for a long time here.”
