How does the price of solar panels come about?

The long-term benefit of renting solar panels is also great, especially when compared to your current “gray” contract. At Soly, we often get questions about how much a solar panel costs with us. An understandable question, as solar panels are a substantial investment in the future. By the way, the system is bigger than just the solar panels. They can only generate power thanks to the cabling, an inverter and all the other parts of the system that make it possible. So to know the price per solar panel, you have to add up the cost of the entire installation and divide that by the number of solar panels.

The following components affect the price of solar panels:

  • Solar panels
  • Inverter
  • Mounting materials
  • Cabling
  • Installation costs
  • Transportation costs
