How much would it cost to install solar power to a 1400 sq ft. home in rural colorado?
Question by Ggirl99: How much would it cost to install solar power to a 1400 sq ft. home in rural colorado?
Found a piece of really cheap land (a little over 1K/acre) and just wondering the cost it would be to have solar electricity there – no electricity yet in the area b/c it is very rural and about 20 minutes from town.
thank you so much!! :O)
Hey, no thank you! Those websites are not solar related — they’re about appliance repair. Come on people!

It depends on how much electricity you plan to
use, and how many days storage capacity you’ll
require. – Those winters can be fierce.
(If you plan to use electric cooking, heat, or A.C. –
forget it).
You’ll need:
*Solar panels to gather a days worth of power in about
4 hours.
*A charger/inverter unit of the proper size for the load.
* Batteries with storage capacity for two days of the load.
Experience has shown that the system will cost
about what you’d pay for 15 – 20 Yr.s worth of utility power.
