The average cost of solar panels and battery storage in the Fresno area is around $30,000-$40,000. While the total cost of solar adoption can seem quite high for some homeowners, the ultimate goal while financing your solar project is to have a monthly payment in range or less than your current monthly electricity cost. This provides the opportunity for immediate energy bill savings as well as protection from future electricity cost increases by your utility provider.
The total cost of adopting solar power is heavily influenced by the required battery storage capacity, with an average price of $10,000 for a 10 KWh battery system. Customers seeking backup power must consider adding 2-4 batteries, depending on their home’s size and the number of loads they aim to cover during outages. This significant expense for battery storage underscores the importance of carefully assessing energy needs and balancing them against budget considerations when transitioning to solar energy, as the investment in batteries can substantially impact the overall affordability and effectiveness of the system.
