How this Lexington solar cost calculator works

This calculator sizes a solar system from your electricity use. Your monthly bill, divided by the average Kentucky electricity price, gives your yearly use; Kentucky's sunshine (1,343 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 Kentucky pay installers. Payback compares that price with what the panels save at Kentucky power prices, assuming prices rise 3% a year.

Kentucky numbers this calculator uses

Installed price
$2.12–$2.88 per watt in Kentucky (typical $2.50), before rebates. A typical 6 kW home system costs $12,700–$17,300.
Sunshine
1,343 kWh of electricity per kW of panels a year in Kentucky.
Electricity price
About 14.3¢ per kWh, the average residential price in Kentucky.
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. Sources: EnergySage state installed-cost data (2026), NREL PVWatts, U.S. Energy Information Administration residential prices (2026), state program pages.

Frequently asked questions

7 questions
Are solar panels worth it in Kentucky?
Solar panels can be worth it in Kentucky, especially if you use the power at home. Selling power back earns less than using it directly.
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
The number of panels depends on your energy use, roof direction, and shading. Our calculator estimates system size based on these factors.
What is the payback period for solar panels in Kentucky?
The payback period varies with system cost and energy savings. Our calculator provides an estimate based on current electricity prices.
Can I sell excess solar power back to the grid in Kentucky?
Yes, but power sent to the grid earns less than the price you pay for it, making home use more valuable.
Are there any solar rebates or tax credits in Kentucky for 2026?
The 30% federal tax credit ended for systems installed after 2025. Leases and PPAs may still carry a credit through 2027.
How does roof direction affect solar panel efficiency?
South-facing roofs are best for solar; east or west need about 15% more panels. North-facing roofs are usually not viable.
How does charging an electric car at home affect solar needs?
Each electric car adds roughly 2,700 kWh a year to your electricity use, impacting the size of the solar system needed.
