Home Solar Atlas original dataset

Real Solar Prices

Approved anonymized homeowner proposals, normalized to solar-only dollars per watt and summarized with median prices, central ranges and privacy-thresholded local intelligence so unusually high or low quotes do not dominate the market view.

Solar price pages by state

Each state page combines the growing Home Solar Atlas homeowner quote sample with a clearly labeled August 2026 marketplace comparison benchmark. When stricter sample thresholds are reached, state pages also show installer-level and three-digit ZIP price observations.

Displayed card prices are external EnergySage Marketplace residential solar pricing comparison benchmarks, not Home Solar Atlas homeowner medians. States without a current published state figure use the labeled U.S. fallback on their detail page.

How to read this dataset

  • $ / W uses the solar-only cash price divided by DC system size. Battery, roofing and separately itemized non-solar work are excluded where the submitter provides those amounts separately.
  • The median is our primary price measure because it is less sensitive than an average to unusually high or low quotes. We also show the 25th-75th percentile range, labeled “middle 50%.”
  • Average $ / W remains visible as a secondary descriptive statistic rather than the headline market number.
  • Financed contract values can include dealer fees or other financing costs, so we ask for the solar-only cash-equivalent price whenever the proposal provides it.
  • Submissions remain pending until reviewed and approved.
  • State statistics and individual quote examples are not published until at least three approved quotes are available for that state.
  • System-size, financing and quarterly segments require at least five approved quotes in that slice before they are displayed.
  • Installer-level rows require at least five approved quotes for the same normalized installer name.
  • ZIP3 rows require at least seven approved quotes in the same three-digit ZIP area. Full ZIP codes are not returned by the local intelligence endpoint.
  • “Sample maturity” is based only on approved record count. It is not a statistical confidence score and does not claim that the sample represents every installer or homeowner in a market.
  • Coverage counts show how many ZIP3 areas, installer names, months and equipment combinations are represented without publishing the underlying ZIP prefixes.
  • Public example quotes show only the quote month, not the exact day, and never display ZIP code, homeowner contact details or street address.
