Solar power FAQs

  • The total cost of installing a solar system in Columbus depends on several factors, including your energy usage, the efficiency of your system, and the installer you choose. Using the median national cost of $3.82 per watt, it costs Ohio residents anywhere from $28,841 to $59,706 to purchase solar panels for their homes.

  • Solar power is a wise investment if your home gets enough sunlight to generate most of its own energy. When you produce sufficient energy from a solar array, you can often recoup the costs of installing it in less than 20 years.

  • It’s important to connect with several installers to compare pricing and find the right fit for your needs and budget. SaveOnEnergy can help you simplify this process and compare installers in Columbus. Fill out the form or call the number on your screen to get started.
