6. Estimated Costs and Incentives: a. Solar panel installation: approximately $3 to $5 per watt before incentives. b. Permit fees: varies based on system (likely range ~$200-$300) c. For a list of current financial incentives, go to http://www.dsireusa.org/ and click on Illinois. Frequently Illinois provides a 30% tax rebate that is capped at $15K per install (discuss availability with installer/apply early). Solar thermal systems also qualify for a 30% federal investment tax credit. 7. Estimated Payback Period: a. Request that this information be detailed by the solar thermal installer when bids are provided. Generally, the payback period will be in the six to ten year range, but that fluctuates with the cost of natural gas, the actual hot water demand usage, and the material cost of panels and piping and the current price of electricity. 8. Anticipated Performance: a. Commercial PV panels continue to produce electricity for the lifetime of their warranty and eve longer, with very minor performance degradation occurring over time. b. With no moving parts, PV systems require very little maintenance. Semi-annual cleaning will ensure peak performance.
