Solar panel installation includes site assessment, system design, permitting, installation, and connection to the electrical grid. SRE handles the entire process.

The cost of solar panels varies based on system size and energy needs, but most homeowners pay between $10,000 and $40,000 before tax credits. Contact us for a custom solar panel cost estimate.
