According to EnergySage's new Solar & Storage Marketplace Report, prices for both home solar and solar + storage reached record lows in the second half of 2024. EnergySage, an online solar shopping marketplace (and Electrek affiliate) analyzed millions of quotes from installers across the US in its 20th semiannual report.
Home solar panels are getting more powerful, faster. In H2 2023, 81% of quotes included panels rated under 400 watts. By H2 2024, that number had dropped to just 14%. The shift is thanks to advances in panel efficiency and design: Either the panels themselves are getting bigger, or they're packing more power into the same space.
The data covers January through December 2024 and offers a detailed look at what homeowners pay for solar panels, batteries, inverters, and more. The median price for solar-only systems dropped to $2.65 per watt in the second half of 2024, down from $2.80 per watt earlier in the year. That's the lowest price EnergySage has recorded.
To limit power outages and make your home more resilient, consider going solar with a battery storage system. In order to find a trusted, reliable solar installer near you that offers competitive pricing, check out EnergySage, a free service that makes it easy for you to go solar.
