The return on investment (ROI) for solar panels is another vital consideration. Although the initial cost may seem high, many homeowners find that the long-term savings on energy bills, alongside government incentives, create a favorable ROI. Typically, homeowners can expect to break even on their solar investment within 5 to 10 years, after which they can enjoy free electricity for the life of the panels, which can exceed 25 years.
Most residential solar panels fall into the range of 60 to 72 cells, which typically translates to sizes of about 65 to 70 inches in height and 39 to 40 inches in width. The most common sizes include

Installation costs also need to be considered when calculating the overall expenditure of a solar panel system. The average installation cost for residential solar panels can range from $0.50 to $2.00 per watt. Therefore, when you consider a 500 watt panel, installation fees could add an additional $250 to $1,000 to your total costs. It's crucial to get quotes from multiple installation companies to gauge the best deal available.
