*Prices are shown after applying the 30% federal tax credit.
As of Oct 2024, the average cost of solar panels in Poland is $2.96 per watt making a typical 6000 watt (6 kW) solar system $12,439 after claiming the 30% federal solar tax credit now available.
This is lower than the average price of residential solar power systems across the United States which is currently $3.00 per watt.
The size of a solar panel system also plays a role in how much the installation will cost.
Larger solar installations will typically have a lower cost per watt, because the panels can be purchased at a ‘bulk price’. However, these larger solar systems will still have a higher total cost, because they are made up of more individual panels.

My solar system went down on June 28, It is not August 5 and the projected site visit from the company is October. In the two years the system was installed it has gone down twice during peak production season. While the first issue was resolved in about 4 weeks, this time, the projected repair time is going to exceed 14 weeks. You don't have to believe me. Call their service number (207) 747-0076... you will never get a human when looking for service and you will never get a call back. Press the number for sales and you will get a human on the first ring - even on a cell if needed. I do not recommend using this firm.

From start to finish this was an exceptional process. It was a throwback to a time when customer service was all about the customer. We were kept informed every step of the way, called if there was a delay for any reason, work was done timely, staff were more than competent and I was completely comfortable having them in and on my home. The work area was always cleaned before they left for the day. It was so refreshing to work with a company that does quality work, with quality products and cares about the client experience from start to finish.

The company I chose to install my solar panels, Venture Home Solar LLC, were A+. Professional, courteous and patient with my questions. Once they started the job it was completed in just a few days. They called to let me know when they were coming to the house before each procedure. If they were going to be late, they called to let me know. Every man on the team got along and the work went smoothly. I liked that they didn't smoke on my property and they used clean language while speaking with each other. I recommend this company highly! - A F P - Auburn, Maine

We would recommend Maine Solar Solutions enthusiastically! Steve Kilborn worked with us to create an array that fit our roof and needs and was affordable. Though Steve initially told us our panels would be installed in early May, they had them in place by April 1. The crew that did the installation was exceptionally polite and considerate. Adrian--the crew chief--communicated with us so we knew when to expect them, and he kept us apprised of the process throughout. The electrician, Noah, helped us restore internet when the work inadvertently caused us to lose it, and he provided us with a very thorough explanation of the system and how it would world work. He answered all of our questions clearly. The crew installed the panels on a metal roof, but did so carefully, and it looks great!

It's so nice to deal with a company that is truly customer focused. I live in home owned by an extended family- all of whom had many questions about a potential solar project. Their questions were patiently answered. The installation process was efficient and careful - which is not always the case when service people encounter our nearly two hundred year old Victorian home. Since the panels have been up and running we've only encountered one minor software problem, and Andy Robitaille emailed me about it before I even had time to contact him! I'm VERY satisfied with our system and the service we've received from this company.

This is who you want to do business with. When you work and meet with Daryl, his integrity and knowledge will ease any anxiety you might have over what is (perhaps) a large financial decision. His product outperformed other panels offered by similar companies. The craftmanship upon installation was excellent. But most important was the piece of mind knowing I was working with a committed, trustworthy, responsible, individual.

Where there is no specific pricing information available for a brand then we have used state pricing data for that brand.

The most important difference between buying solar panels and any other purchase is that solar panels last 25-30 years. This is a long, long time and you will need customer service over all that time. The reviews below of the two largest corporate solar installation companies indicate larger corporate solar companies are not delivering this support to their customers.
We recommend you find a small or mid-size, local, family-owned solar company. These companies tend to care more about you and your specific job. You don't want to be on hold to a corporation's call center for the next 25 years!
The cost of solar doesn't just include the equipment and installation costs - it’s also made up of permitting costs, inspection costs, and installer profit margins.
These different components are what make the price of solar fluctuate between installations. Some of the factors that affect solar power system installation costs for specific homes include:
Homes that use more electricity will need more solar panels to cover their energy needs.
Although solar panels do get cheaper on a per-watt basis, the overall cost of the system will increase as more panels are added.
But, the higher a home’s energy usage, the more solar panels can save the homeowners on their energy bills.
The price of solar panels can vary depending on the type of solar panels you choose.
There are two main types of solar panels for residential solar installations: monocrystalline and polycrystalline. Monocrystalline solar panels tend to be more efficient and more expensive than other solar panels. Polycrystalline panels have a lower efficiency rating and come at a lower price point.
The type of inverter you buy will also influence the cost of your solar system.
You may see some solar quotes with prices that seem too good to be true.
If you get quoted for a ridiculously cheap price, the installer might be using low-quality equipment or an unsustainable pricing model. You want to use a solar installer that is charging enough so that they can stay in business - as you’ll be relying on them for the next 25 years!
It’s important to make sure that your installer is giving you the best quality at the best price possible. This is why getting multiple solar quotes is so important.
The overall cost of solar can be influenced by the solar incentives available.
Across the U.S., homeowners can apply for the federal solar tax credit. The solar tax credit makes installing solar more cost-effective by providing homeowners with a tax credit equal to 30% of the cost of their installed solar panel system.
Local solar tax incentives and rebates can end up saving homeowners thousands on a solar installation, especially when they’re used with the federal solar tax credit.
See what solar incentives are available in your area by using our solar panel calculator.
The cost of installing residential solar panels in Poland varies with the brand of solar panels and inverters you choose, the installation company you choose to install them, the relative ease or difficulty of installing solar panels on your home, and of course the amount of solar panels you need. The amount of solar panels you need is, in turn, related to your energy usage.
The table below shows the data extracted from a real life quote delivered through the SolarReviews marketplace recently for a fairly typical home in Poland.
As you can see the payback period is relatively short and equates to a much better return on investment than he historical returns that have been available from investing in things like shares or property.
