We’ve heard from over 100,000 verified solar customers since 2018. A couple of things we know for sure: People like powering their homes with a reliable source of cheap, clean energy, and they don’t like getting into solar contracts that don’t meet their expectations. Here’s what to consider when selecting a solar company, how to think about solar costs and what to expect during and after the installation.
Solar panels typically cost $18,000 to $43,000. On the bright side, you can finance or lease a system with minimal upfront costs.
Jump to insightThough more expensive, high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) panels are worth it if you have a small roof. They generate more electricity and require less space.
Jump to insightThe 30% federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) is the best financial incentive for most homeowners going solar.
Jump to insightSystems usually pay for themselves in about 9.5 years, and the average homeowner can avoid $62,219 in total utility costs over 25 years.
Jump to insightA typical 8-kilowatt (kW) solar panel costs $22,712 before any financial incentives. When the full federal solar tax credit is factored in, that price effectively drops to $15,898. How much you actually pay depends on the size of your system, where you live and if you also want a solar energy storage battery. On the high end, we talked to a solar customer in Massachusetts who paid around $50,000 for a system and a solar customer in Hawaii who spent $100,000.
On average, homeowners with solar panels avoid $62,219 in total utility costs over 25 years.
“The price of a system will depend on your electricity usage; there's not a fixed price but more of a range,” Neil Gallagher, who owns a solar company in Tampa, Florida, explained. Most installers price systems based on wattage. This “cost per watt” represents the price of each unit watt of electricity your solar panels will generate. Similar to how miles per gallon tells you how fuel-efficient a vehicle is, cost per watt shows how much energy generation you get per dollar. As of publishing, the average cost per watt is $2.84.

You can pay for your system upfront, but most people finance solar panels. A solar loan works like any other type of loan — there's an application and approval process, and you pay the loan back over time (with interest). Alternatively, solar leases and power purchase agreements are good options if you don’t want to take on debt.
A potential downside to leasing is that you won’t be eligible for the federal solar tax credit.
Look at past utility bills to understand your monthly energy consumption patterns. If you finance solar panels, it might not be worth it if the loan payments are more expensive than your existing electricity bill.
» SOLAR PANELS: Buy vs. lease
The 30% federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) is the best financial incentive for most homeowners buying solar panels. The ITC reduces your federal income tax liability by 30% of how much it costs to install solar panels, including labor and permit fees.
For example, let’s say you spend $10,000 installing solar panels. The ITC is worth $3,000. If in the year your system becomes operational, you owe $5,000 in taxes, the ITC reduces your tax bill to $2,000. Any unused portion rolls over to the next tax year.
Don’t get confused
A tax credit decreases the amount of taxes you owe. This is different from a deduction, which lowers your taxable income. You won’t automatically get a check for 30% of what your system costs. However, you can get a refund check if the credit reduces your tax liability to the point where you overpaid during the year.
Not every household benefits from solar panels in the same way. We suggest using NREL’s PVWatts Calculator to estimate how much electricity a solar panel can produce over a year on your house. Project Sunroof is a reliable online solar savings estimator.
Solar is worth it for a lot of homeowners. Systems usually pay for themselves in about 9.5 years, and the average homeowner can avoid $62,219 in total utility costs over 25 years. How much money solar saves you depends on electricity costs in your area.
Since going solar, Lowell in Oklahoma said his average monthly electric bill went from $125 to about $15. Another solar customer, Rosineia in Massachusetts, told us she saves around $1,000 per year.
In the worst-case scenario, you spend thousands on midtier equipment from a company with no follow-up support, like Brenda in Missouri. “I am still not sure if it is working correctly, as I only saved $6.66 last month,” Brenda told us. “Why would anyone pay $52,000 for a system and get less than a $10 return each month?”
Despite the high upfront costs, the energy savings over time can deliver a strong return on investment. However, for buyers, there are costs beyond the initial investment, like maintenance of the panels.
You can clean your panels yourself, or hire a professional once or twice a year to keep performance optimal. Otherwise, dirt, debris and other substances accumulate on panels over time, reducing their effectiveness.
Breaking down the pros and cons can help you get a better idea of whether or not solar is worth it for your home.
For best results, you need plenty of sunlight and a strong roof that faces the right direction.
Pro tip
If you have older electrical appliances, upgrade those before investing in solar panels. Getting your electrical loads as low as possible means you can get a smaller system, which will be cheaper overall.

» EXPLORE: Where solar savings go the furthest
If you’re ready to go solar, look out for pushy sales reps who make big promises. Here's how to narrow down your options and find a reputable company that can provide ongoing service at a competitive price.
Read lots of solar company reviews and look for patterns of complaints related to bad customer service, misleading sales practices and issues with repairs and warranties.
It’s always worth it to compare a few quotes. The price difference between one company and another can be thousands of dollars. Some solar companies have a lot more overhead due to marketing efforts, and that cost is passed on to the consumer.
Reputable solar companies are often associated with the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) or are certified by the Solar Rating & Certification Corporation (SRCC).
When comparing solar panels, look for reliability, efficiency and durability. Higher-efficiency solar panels are more expensive but generate more electricity and require less space. Depending on where you live, the panels might need to be tough enough to withstand harsh weather conditions like hail, wind and snow.
The best installers always offer warranties and service guarantees. They're also readily available for maintenance, system checks or addressing any concerns you might have after your solar system is installed.
Panels usually come with a manufacturer's warranty that covers their performance for 25 years. Solar inverters are also a common source of maintenance issues, so check your warranty for that too. A typical solar inverter warranty lasts between 10 and 25 years.
» BUYER BEWARE: Solar panel scams
The most common residential photovoltaic (PV) panels — monocrystalline and polycrystalline — are made of silicon cells, which easily absorb photons from the sun. But it's not just about picking the best solar panels. A solar array is made up of many different components. Think about how your whole system will work together.
Understanding the installation process is important to knowing what you should expect.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels work by harnessing the power of the sun and converting it into usable electricity. The most common types of residential solar PV panels — monocrystalline and polycrystalline — are made of silicon cells, which easily absorb photons from the sun.
If your solar panel system is connected to the grid, any excess energy your system generates during the day can be fed into the grid and credited to your account through net metering. At night, your system can draw energy from the grid to power devices and appliances in your home.
Solar panels still work on cloudy days, but the electricity generation drops by about 10% to 25%. Direct sunlight definitely boosts energy output.
The average American household ends up needing 15 to 30 panels to fully power a home. How many solar panels you need depends on your energy usage, roof and solar panels' efficiency. To figure out your energy usage, check your utility bill for "kWh used." To get your monthly average, look at bills for the past year, add up the stated kWh used and divide by 12.
In general, the output of one residential solar panel is anywhere from 100 watts to 500 watts, depending on the capacity of the equipment and operating conditions. Most panels on homes are rated to output between 250 watts and 450 watts, meaning they produce 250 to 450 watt-hours of electricity for each hour they are exposed to direct sunlight.
» WATT’S THE DIFFERENCE? kW vs. kWh
Businesses, local governments and nonprofits of all sizes can benefit from commercial solar panel installation. Solar carports, ground-mounted systems and solar thermal energy systems are also options. The biggest difference between commercial and residential solar panels comes down to scale, financing options and tax incentives.
A solar battery is not always necessary, but it can provide significant benefits. Solar batteries store excess energy generated during the day for use when your panels aren't producing electricity, such as at night or during power outages. They are particularly useful if you want energy independence, live in an area with frequent grid outages or don't have net metering options with your utility company. However, they do add to the overall cost of your solar system.
Installation times depend on a range of factors, especially seasonality and supply chain issues. The actual installation might take only a day, but it takes time to design, plan and activate the system. Dan in California said it took a few weeks; Shahida in New York said it took a year.
Robert Kaufmann
Professor, environmental science, Boston UniversitySolar panels generate electricity without using fossil fuels (e.g., coal, oil or natural gas). Burning fossil fuels is the largest source of anthropogenic sulfur emissions. As such, solar panels reduce carbon emissions, which reduces one’s carbon footprint.
Read their bioYogi Goswami
Professor, chemical engineering, University of South FloridaSince solar panels convert sunlight to power directly without the need to burn any fuel, no CO2 is emitted while sunlight is being converted to electrical power. Considering that power from coal emits about 1.05 kg CO2/kWh, from natural gas about 0.44 kg/kWh and from oil about 1.1 kg/kWh (based on the data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration), solar panels significantly reduce carbon footprints by avoiding these emissions.
Read their bioSarah Kurtz
Professor, electrical engineering, University of California MercedSolar panels help by reducing the amount of fossil fuels that are used to generate electricity. If used alongside electric vehicles and heat pumps, solar panels further decrease the reliance on fossil fuels in transportation and heating. If solar panels were widely adopted, they could eventually eliminate our carbon footprint altogether by replacing fossil fuel-based energy generation.
Read their bioHarvey Bryan
Professor, building technology, Arizona State UniversitySolar energy can offset grid power, which is usually generated by carbon-based fossil fuels, making your home’s energy use cleaner. The impact depends on your utility — some have a high level of renewables, while others rely heavily on fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. Many utilities now offer clean energy plans, which supply 100% renewable electricity to customers at a slight premium. Advances in battery storage also help balance solar output, making it a more reliable energy source that reduces dependence on dirtier power plants.
Read their bioRobert Kaufmann
Professor, environmental science, Boston UniversityThe reduction in local carbon emissions will have little immediate effect on the severity or frequency of climate-induced flooding or extreme heat. However, if properly networked into the grid, solar panels can decentralize power production, increasing the supply of electricity to localities during extreme weather events.
Read their bioYogi Goswami
Professor, chemical engineering, University of South FloridaCertainly, solar panels help. However, since the global environment doesn’t have any boundaries, having more solar panels everywhere would help reduce the carbon footprint and, therefore, reduce the impact of climate change.
Read their bioSarah Kurtz
Professor, electrical engineering, University of California MercedSolar panels can provide localized benefits, such as offering shaded parking to reduce heat exposure. However, they do not prevent floods directly, as extreme weather events will continue to occur.
Read their bioHarvey Bryan
Professor, building technology, Arizona State UniversityYes, but the impact is global rather than local. Rising CO2 levels from centuries of fossil fuel use have driven climate change, and while solar adoption helps, results aren’t immediate — it might take decades to see the benefits. Countries like Norway, with 90% [electrical vehicle] adoption, show how policy can drive change. The challenge is ensuring long-term commitment, as some governments scale back renewable efforts due to political shifts, slowing down climate action.
Read their bioRobert Kaufmann
Professor, environmental science, Boston UniversityThe laws of thermodynamics dictate that every human effort has environmental risks. The extraction of materials used and the fabrication of solar panels cause environmental damage. However, these damages are generally smaller than those caused by other forms of electricity generation.
Read their bioYogi Goswami
Professor, chemical engineering, University of South FloridaIf we plan to recycle solar panels, the effect on the environment from used panels will be very small. As for the land use, you certainly need land for the solar panels. However, for residential use, you can use the roofs of buildings for solar panels. For larger scales, you can use strategies to reduce the land-use impact and, in some cases, make a positive impact. For example, for large car parking lots, you could use the panels to provide shade to the parked cars. For agricultural farms, you could use the panels to form the boundaries of the farms.
Read their bioSarah Kurtz
Professor, electrical engineering, University of California MercedSolar competes with agriculture for land use, but strategies such as agrivoltaics allow for dual use of land. While solar panels do contribute to waste, their long lifespan (decades) minimizes the waste issue compared to other energy sources.
Read their bioHarvey Bryan
Professor, building technology, Arizona State UniversityAll energy sources have risks: Fossil fuels impact climate; hydropower can disrupt aquatic life; nuclear presents long-term waste storage challenges. Solar’s impact is relatively minor, but land use and end-of-life disposal need careful management. Compared to fossil fuels, solar has far fewer environmental drawbacks. The key is to weigh risks over time — legacy energy sources like coal and natural gas cause significant pollution, while renewable options, despite some challenges, offer a more sustainable path.
Read their bioRobert Kaufmann
Professor, environmental science, Boston UniversityOne of the largest obstacles is the large up-front costs. As such, many households cannot afford solar panels even though they would save money in the long run. This barrier can be lowered by low interest loans. Also, renters find it difficult to reap the benefits of solar panels because renters do not have property rights.
Read their bioSarah Kurtz
Professor, electrical engineering, University of California MercedThe barriers to solar adoption are highly variable. In New York City, it is difficult to find low-cost places to mount [solar panels] that will not be frequently shaded, but in California, the challenge is more about how to make use of the solar electricity after the sun sets. California has installed > 13 GW of batteries that can charge during the day and then discharge after sunset. Even though 13 GW is roughly half of a typical nighttime load in California, California could still benefit from more batteries. In many places, people don’t want to change how they are using land. If a county considers itself to be an agricultural county, replacing fields of corn with solar panels changes the county’s identity. Perhaps using agrivoltaics can help in such a case because sheep can graze underneath the panels, allowing the farmers to continue creating food for everyone’s tables while also generating electricity without carbon emissions.
Read their bioYogi Goswami
Professor, chemical engineering, University of South FloridaThe biggest barrier is that, for solar power, you have to pay for the panels and the balance of the system up front, while the benefit comes over time after the capital investment has been made. Since the panels pay for themselves over time, creative financing schemes can make it possible for the users to pay costs over time so that the periodic payments are less than the savings from the panels.
Read their bioHarvey Bryan
Professor, building technology, Arizona State UniversityUncertainty, misinformation and policy shifts are major barriers. The recent pause on infrastructure investments has slowed renewable growth despite prior tax credits boosting the industry. Battery storage is expanding rapidly, making solar more viable, and utilities are adopting it for economic benefits. However, shifting political priorities might redirect funding back to fossil fuels. Overcoming these obstacles requires long-term planning, public awareness and stable government support.

ConsumerAffairs used a data-driven approach, guided by its expert editors, to select the top solar companies. This process is regularly updated to reflect new customer reviews, company data and industry trends.
To identify the top five picks for different buyer needs, including the best overall solar company, we applied a weighted scoring system that considered verified customer review data and available information on features including payment options, equipment selection, warranties and guarantees.
We conducted a sentence-by-sentence sentiment analysis of thousands of reviews on our site from Oct. 1, 2021, through Sept. 30, 2024, to identify the aspects that people care about most in solar companies. We then decoded the reviews and star ratings to calculate the percentage of reviewers who are “happy” or “satisfied” with each aspect for each company, which we refer to as the “satisfaction rating” for that aspect. For solar companies, these aspects included installation, customer service and price.
For each satisfaction aspect or feature, a company received a score from 0 to 10. The company with the best satisfaction rating or strongest feature received a full score of 10; other companies’ scores were adjusted proportionally. We applied different weightings of aspects and features for each top pick. The weighted scores were then totaled to calculate a final score for each category. Here’s how we weighted each category:
The company with the highest final score in each category was awarded the top spot. In cases where one company scored highest in multiple categories, the company with the next-highest score was chosen. To recap, our top picks for best solar companies in 2025 are:
