Cost Of Solar In Iowa
Solar Panel Prices: Cost-Effective Key Factors To Take Into Consideration
On average, an Iowa home is using about 892 kWh of energy per month, which works out to an average cost per month of $109.
Your personal energy consumption may vary, but regardless of deviation, switching to solar power can help cut down on your energy usage—and therefore your electricity bills—on a long-term basis. It depends on how large of a solar panel system your house can support, but the switch will save you money in the long-term regardless.
Solar Panel Location
One of the largest factors in determining how much solar energy you’ll be able to generate, other than the size of the array itself, will be where you can put your panels. If you opt for a roof-mounted system, there will have to be an assessment for how much roof space you have, and how many panels your roof can sustain. If you spring for a ground-mounted solar panel system, the location still plays a big factor, because they’ll ideally be located somewhere where they’ll receive enough sun exposure, but also somewhere they won’t be subject to too much wear and tear.
Ultimately, the amount of sun your property receives is what will decide how many solar panels your home is fit for, where they would best fit, and the average prices for the components required for your solar purchase.
This is why it’s so important to have NABCEP certified professional like ECG Solar who can come out and perform a site assessment, which will help map out where to place your solar energy system.

Solar Panel Cost For Your Home
Solar Prices: Key Factors To Take Into Consideration
The initial cost for an array for a house that uses 893 kWh per month will be completely different than the cost for a house that uses 1,500 kWh per month. This may seem obvious, but the distinction is important, because solar panel arrays are configured for homes based on their actual energy usage, rather than square footage alone.
