Grid-tied solar dominates the market for good reason: With 2025 system costs ranging from $2.50-$4.00 per watt installed and federal tax credits of 30% through 2032, grid-tied systems offer the fastest payback periods (6-10 years) and highest returns on investment without requiring expensive battery storage.
Several separate data-files were last released in mid-2023, and we have aggregated them here, then added our own analytics and observations. The cost of grid interconnection has averaged $138/kW across 3,382 projects in the database, which breaks down as $51/kW for thermal power plants, $138/kW for wind projects and $167/kW for solar projects.
While they cost more than string inverters, averaging $1.15 per watt, they offer the benefit of independent panel optimization. For a 5 kW system, the cost is approximately $5,750. Microinverters generally come with warranties of around 25 years, which aligns with the expected lifespan of the solar panels themselves.
The overall cost breakdown shows that while necessary, inverters are a relatively small part of the total investment in solar technology. After applying tax credits, the total cost to install a solar system, inverter included, comes to between $10,600 and $26,500. In 2023, there was a 15% drop in the price of residential systems.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
Discover the pros and cons of grid-tied vs. off grid solar inverters to find the best system for your energy needs, budget, and long-term independence.
