Since 2010, residential solar panel prices have fallen by roughly 50% while US solar deployment has grown by over 2,000%. The slight rise in residential solar pricing from 2020-2023 is largely attributed to supply chain tangles from the pandemic.
The average pre-incentive cost of home solar is $29,161 for a three-bedroom house, or $20,412 after claiming the 30% tax credit. However, as shown in the chart below, the number of bedrooms isn’t a great indicator of the size and cost of a solar system – and neither is living space, for that matter.

The study focuses on solar and battery storage, but the researchers note that wind power, heat pumps, and other clean technologies are also seeing a sharp drop in prices, too. Technological advances are making solar and battery storage smarter and more efficient.
On average, solar panels cost $8.77 per square foot of living space, after factoring in the 30% tax credit. However, the cost per square foot varies based on the size of the home. For example, the post-tax credit cost of solar panels for a 2,500-square-foot home is around $20,000 for a rate of $7.96 per square foot.
Ultimately many factors figure into the price per watt of a solar system, but the average cost is typically as low as $2.75 per watt. This price will vary if a project requires special adders like ground mounting, a main panel upgrade, an EV charger, etc.
