Some basic approaches and programs can make going solar a smart investment over the long term.
As with anything else, the key to getting the best price is knowing the market.
A maze of tax credits and other incentives are available to help bring down the cost of going solar.

The national average cost of a solar system in the US is $ 18,073 for a 5 -kW size system or $ 3.60 per watt.
Another option is "solarize" programs in which a bunch of neighbors band together to work with one installer to achieve economies of scale.
