Solar HitsRecord-Low Cost: What It Means for Homeowners & Property Managers in 2025

The U.S. solar industry just hit a major milestone: the average cost of a residential solar system has dropped to a record low of $29,000 before incentives, according to a recent EnergySage report published by PV Magazine.

This marks a pivotal moment for homeowners, property managers, and sustainability-focused real estate professionals. With solar now more affordable than ever, the window of opportunity to go green, save money, and boost property value has never been wider.

Why Are Solar Prices Dropping?

The EnergySage report attributes this price decline to several factors:

• Increased supply of low-cost equipment (like modules and inverters)

• Growing competition among solar installers

• Better consumer awareness of solar options and financing

For context, the average system price hovered above $31,000 just last year. Now, with prices dipping below $29,000 and federal tax credits still active, homeowners could pay significantly less out of pocket—especially with flexible financing and lease/PPA options.

What This Means for Pangea Sun Clients

At Pangea SUN, we’ve always focused on affordability, accessibility, and simplicity. This industry price drop directly aligns with our turnkey model that eliminates financial and logistical barriers for both homeowners and property managers.

Here’s how we’re making solar even more attractive in light of this industry trend:

Zero Upfront Cost Programs

We offer lease and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with zero upfront costs, meaning you can go solar with no initial investment and start saving from Day 1.

Property Manager Revenue Sharing

Our Property Manager Solar & Tesla Charger Program allows managers to offer solar and EV chargers as an upsell, generating passive revenue while increasing property appeal.

HOA & Community Discounts

Through bulk and HOA pricing, we help communities lock in even better deals, riding the wave of lower system prices and combining it with group discounts for maximum savings.

Not Just Solar—EV Charging, Too

As solar installation costs fall, pairing panels with EV charging stations becomes more viable. That’s why we provide Tesla & Universal EV Charger installations as part of our standard offerings. It's a high-value amenity that helps future-proof homes and rental properties while attracting eco-conscious tenants and buyers.

Solar + Incentives = Massive ROI

With the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) still available, that $29,000 system could cost as little as $20,300 after incentives. Add in state and local rebates, and the savings grow even more.

Plus, homes with solar panels:

• Sell up to 20% faster

• Fetch 4-6% higher sale prices

• Attract premium rents in competitive markets

Bottom Line: There’s Never Been a Better Time to Go Solar

The drop in solar pricing is not just a number—it’s a signal. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to reduce your energy bill or a property manager seeking to enhance your portfolio with revenue-generating green amenities, now is the time to act.
