	Solar Electric Investment Analysis - Part 2: Assessing System Cost
	Publication #: B-1291.2 Date Published: 08/01/2016 Publication Author(s): Eric Romich Milton Geiger Benjamin S. Rashford

Description:
Photovoltaic (PV) panels are an increasingly common sight on urban rooftops and rural properties across the U.S. The declining cost of equipment and installation makes installing a behind-the-electric-meter (net metered) solar electric system enticing for many homeowners, businesses, non-profits, and agricultural producers. Evaluating the financial prudence of an investment in solar requires careful consideration of installation costs, the value of production, and operation and maintenance costs.

Part 2: Assessing System Cost – From initial costs to incentives to ongoing insurance expense, the present and expected costs dominate the decision to install a PV system.
