Are residential solar panels worth in 2020?
- With the 30% federal tax credit reducing at the end of 2020, millions of American homeowners are asking themselves whether or not installing solar panels is worth it.
- The answer depends on many factors including where you live, how much roof space you have, if your roof is shaded, how much power you use, what your local utility charges you for electricity, and the prices offered by local solar companies.
- Our solar panels cost and savings calculator takes all of these factors into account when calculating the payback period and investment return for your specific home.
What is the average payback period for residential solar panels in 2020?
The solar payback period refers to the amount of time it takes for the electric bill savings from your solar panels to equal the amount you paid for the system. The average payback period for a residential solar system in 2020 is about seven to eight years.
A payback period of seven or eight years equates to a return on investment of approximately 15%. However, this varies greatly by state and even by regions within states.
Once you have generated an accurate payback period, you can compare this to the returns you see on other types of investments:
- Long-term government bonds currently have returns between 0.1% and 2%
- Zillow estimates that home prices increase between 3% and 5% annually
- The stock market has risen around 9.5% historically
As you can see, residential solar panels stack up favorably against all of these other investment options – and this is even before we consider the increase in a home value caused by the solar panel installation.
