purchase solar panel
How much do solar panels cost?
If my school was to purchase enough solar panels to run the school off only their power, how much might that cost? (I have a really small school, only 384 kids.)
Just general prices of solar panels and how much electricity they yield would be fine too.
Solar panels typically cost in the range of 8 to 10 dollars per kilowatt of power they are capable of providing. That same kilowatt of power costs in the range of 8 to 10 cents normally.
This is the reason solar is not all that viable, without government incentives.
The person who responded “You’re looking at $10,000 to $40,000…” is so far off the real answer as to not even be funny. I suspect a solar pv system for a school would start in the $400,000 to $500,000 range. Many areas though have incentives, which will reduce the actual out of pocket costs (but not to $10k).
