    A solar power system is customized for your home, so pricing and savings vary based on location, system size, government rebates and local utility rates. Savings on your total electricity costs is not guaranteed.There are many type of solar system in market.The price of solar system are low.For example: A system that costs $18,000 has a payback period of about 20 years. The cost of a solar panel today is around $3 per watt, and the extra cost of installation brings costs up to $5- $6 per watt.you can collect information about solar system price in internet...just search about solar system. http://www.jpost.com/PromoContent/8-Best-Reviewed-Portable-Solar-Power-Generators-for-2016-439477

    In 2017, many homeowners were paying somewhere between $2.80-$4 per watt to install solar, and the average gross cost of solar panels before tax credits was $16,800. Using the U.S, average for system size at 5 kW (5000 watts), solar panel cost will range from $10,000 to $13,500 (after tax credits). That’s 9% lower than it was a year ago, and solar panel system costs are continuing to fall.

    Sounds like an article written in early 2017, Lots of solar imports and hence installations seem to be on hold until the government decides if and/or how much they will increase tariffs.

    Looking to get a system probably next year, hoping too the price of inverters would drop.
