Want a custom solar estimate for your home?
As of April 2021, the average solar panel cost in Iowa is $3.32/W. Given a solar panel system size of 5 kilowatts (kW), an average solar installation in Iowa ranges in cost from $14,110 to $19,090, with the average gross price for solar in Iowa coming in at $16,600. After accounting for the 26% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and other state and local solar incentives, the net price you'll pay for solar can fall by thousands of dollars.
Importantly, these costs are typical for solar shoppers comparing solar quotes on the EnergySage Marketplace. When you compare quotes for solar panels on EnergySage's competitive solar marketplace, you can expect to see prices up to 20% lower than working with a single solar company.
