Installation plus the solar panels, roughly?
Basically, you’re looking at about $10-$12 a watt. So, for a 2 kilowatt system (small house with minimal demand), you’re starting at about $20K. And, for a 3.5 kW system (most common size), you’re starting at about $35K. An especially large house might require a system as big as about 5 kW (about $50K).

Wouldn’t this actually help people in the long run?
I’m not sure if you have heard of PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy).
In a report released by Pike Research, 75% of Americans surveyed said they are interested in Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing programs. PACE is a financing arrangement run by a municipality where energy retrofits are paid through an annual special tax on the homeowner’s property tax bill, typically repaid over 15 or 20 years. 63% of those polled were most interested in using this type of financing for solar panels or tankless water heaters.
What is unique about PACE is that it allows energy retrofits to be attached to the home, not the borrower. Many homeowners don’t want to make the commitment for solar or towards energy efficiency because they aren’t sure how long they will be in their home. If for some reason, the homeowner has to move before he recovers the project cost, the liability (and benefits) will be passed on to the future owners. In addition, these improvements usually require a large cash outlay upfront. PACE gives a lot of flexibility by spreading that cost.
