Cost and timing
Solar in Los Angeles: $18,000 to $40,000
Half of 3,193 installs from January 2021 to December 2023 cost an amount in this range.
How to read this range
These are prices homeowners paid, as installers reported them to state programs. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory collects them in its Tracking the Sun data. A quarter paid less than this range, and a quarter paid more. The prices are before the federal tax credit.
Permit value (not a price)
Their typical permit lists $10,000 (half list more, half less)
That is the figure written on the permit form, which can be far from what you pay. Across Los Angeles, half of all solar system permits list $20,000 to $250,000. What solar system jobs cost in Los Angeles.
