I am planning on putting solar panels on the roof of my house since i live in phoenix, AZ. We get a lot of sun and it only seems sensible to buy solar panels. A lot of poeple say that it costs like 15-20k to install them.
I was wondering if someone knew if thats true, and how much would it cost and which ones should i install. I am very confused and it seems with the investment i will have to put in it, i should learn more about it.
Thanks to everyone.

I would contact a couple of local solar installers (both for PV and for hot water) and ask them. They’ll have a really good idea of what size systems you need, what the cost would be, and how long it would take to pay for itself. Plus, its a good way to start to interview contractors.
Obviously, you can put as little or as much solar energy as you want on your house. To offset a large portion of your electricity use, though, a price of $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 doesn’t seem out of line. You can also look into solar water heating, which costs much less but only reduces your water heating energy.
I’ve put a link below that I like for finding solar vendors.
Good luck.
