You'll probably pay even less than what we show here. It doesn't include the federal ITC or Box Elder County, UT state incentives, which will lower this price by at least a few thousand dollars.

Your solar panel cost depends on your system's size

It may seem obvious but larger solar panel systems cost more money. We use cost per watt ($/W) so you can easily compare quotes, controlling for slight variations in system size.

While a 5 kW system will only cost you $12,890 in Box Elder County, UT, doubling the system size effectively doubles the price, so you'll pay about twice that for a 10 kW system. The higher the price tag, though, the more you'll get back as a credit towards your federal tax bill.

System Cost (after ITC)
3 kW$7,734$5,414
4 kW$10,312$7,218
5 kW$12,890$9,023
6 kW$15,468$10,828
7 kW$18,046$12,632
8 kW$20,624$14,437
9 kW$23,202$16,241
10 kW$25,780$18,046

If you can't shell out $12,890 in cash to pay for solar, don't sweat it. You can choose to finance your system with a loan instead. Some companies even offer $0-down loans so you can start saving on day one if your loan payments are less than your current electric bills. Just keep in mind that your long-term savings will be lower with a loan due to interest rates.
