INFINITE SOLAR INCORPORATE Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), allows energy users to save on capital costs for solar panels, inverters and permits. What is a SOLAR POWER PURCHASE AGREMENT (SOLAR PA)? The solar power purchase agreement (or PPA) is a financial off-balance-sheet arrangement that allows an energy consumer, also known as an offtaker, to allow a third party developer to build, maintain, and operate a PV system on its land at no cost. After a set period, the off-taker agrees to buy electricity from its owner. The rate the off-taker receives will be typically lower than that of the utility, but they also get a sustainable power source and are able to implement sustainability initiatives.

How this New Orleans solar cost calculator works

This calculator sizes a solar system from your electricity use. Your monthly bill, divided by the average Louisiana electricity price, gives your yearly use; Louisiana's sunshine (1,479 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 Louisiana pay installers. Payback compares that price with what the panels save at Louisiana power prices, assuming prices rise 3% a year.

Louisiana numbers this calculator uses

Installed price
$1.97–$2.67 per watt in Louisiana (typical $2.32), before rebates. A typical 6 kW home system costs $11,800–$16,000.
Sunshine
1,479 kWh of electricity per kW of panels a year in Louisiana.
Electricity price
About 13.4¢ per kWh, the average residential price in Louisiana.
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 Louisiana?
With electricity at 13.4 cents per kWh, solar can lower bills. Using power at home is more valuable than selling it back.
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
A typical home system might need 20-24 panels, depending on roof direction and shading.
What is the payback period for solar panels in Louisiana?
Payback depends on system size, usage, and electricity rates. The calculator estimates this based on your inputs.
Can I sell solar power back to the grid in Louisiana?
Yes, but you earn less than the price you pay for electricity. Using solar power at home is more beneficial.
Are there any solar tax credits available in 2026?
The 30% federal tax credit ended for systems installed after 2025. Leases and PPAs may still qualify through 2027.
How does roof direction affect solar panel efficiency?
South-facing roofs need fewer panels. East or west roofs need about 15% more. North-facing roofs are usually not viable.
How does charging an electric car at home affect solar needs?
Each electric car adds about 2,700 kWh of annual electricity use, affecting the size of your solar system.
