VI. How to find Best PriceYou may have looked around for companies that sell solar panels and will notice the same repetitive sales pitch. It may go something like this, cheapest solar panels!, best deals!, lowest price on the net!, etc. It could get confusing so I'll show you how to figure out the best watt for your buck. The best way to determine a good price for solar panels is dividing the amount the company is charging for a solar panel by the amount of watts. For example if a company is selling a 130watt solar panel for $600, the math would look like this: 600/130=4.62. That means their price for that panel is $4.62 per watt. Now your question might be, What's a good price per watt? Right now in the United States the higher end of the retail price per watt is at $4.85. (according to the data research here: http://www.solarbuzz.com/Moduleprices.htm) So anything below that is a good price and of course the lower price per watt, the better. So while you are shopping around just do this simple math for a few different companies that are selling solar panels and find the lowest price per watt. Once you figure that best price, it would be a good idea to find out if the particular company you picked is in good standing. A good way to do this would be to do a Google search on the company and make sure you don't find negative remarks about the way they do business.
