the cost of Tesla solar panels varies based on the size of the system and the specific needs of your home. Here are the approximate prices for standard residential systems before tax incentives:
- Small – 4.08 kW, suitable for a 1,000-2,000 sq ft home: $8,200
- Medium – 8.16 kW, suitable for a 2,000-3,000 sq ft home: $16,400
- Large – 12.24 kW, suitable for a 3,000-4,000 sq ft home: $24,600
- Extra-Large – 16.32 kW, suitable for a 4,000+ sq ft home: $32,800
It’s also important to note that these prices are before the federal solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is applied, which could potentially reduce the cost significantly.
In addition to traditional solar panels, Tesla also sells its unique Solar Roof, which replaces a traditional roof with solar tiles. As of 2021, the price of a Tesla Solar Roof was higher than traditional solar panels and varied significantly based on the size of the roof, local regulations and codes, and other factors. It was estimated to cost about $21.85 per square foot.
