Roof-mounted solar panels are photovoltaic systems installed on residential rooftops to capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity. They consist of multiple solar cells that work together to produce energy.
[pdf] These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation. BTM systems give facilities the option to reduce demand charges1 imposed by the utility and leverage time-of-use rates2 to lower operational costs.
[pdf] On average, a 25 kW solar panel system costs $68,750, according to real-world quotes on the EnergySage Marketplace from the first half of 2024. However, your price may differ; solar costs can vary significantly from state to state.
