How this Anchorage solar cost calculator works
This calculator sizes a solar system from your electricity use. Your monthly bill, divided by the average Alaska electricity price, gives your yearly use; Alaska's sunshine (922 kWh per kW of panels a year) then gives the system size that covers it, adjusted for roof direction and shade. The installed price is that size multiplied by the price per watt homeowners in Alaska pay installers. Payback compares that price with what the panels save at Alaska power prices, assuming prices rise 3% a year.
Alaska numbers this calculator uses
- Installed price
- $2.80–$3.79 per watt in Alaska (typical $3.30), before rebates. A typical 6 kW home system costs $16,800–$22,700.
- Sunshine
- 922 kWh of electricity per kW of panels a year in Alaska.
- Electricity price
- About 27.1¢ per kWh, the average residential price in Alaska.
- Selling power back
- Power you send to the grid earns less than the price you pay for it (net billing or avoided-cost credits), so using your solar power at home is worth more.
- Rebates and tax credits
- The 30% federal tax credit for buying solar ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025. Leases and power purchase agreements can still carry a federal credit through the installer for systems in service by the end of 2027.
An estimate, not a quote. Roof size and pitch, shading, equipment, permits and the installer all change the final price; installers confirm it after a site visit.
