Installation of solar panels at home assists you in two ways; one is that you get cheapest energy for your home and second it increases your home value. Modern solar systems are more accurate, efficient and easy to install. Though initially installation of solar panels cost you much, but on long term you really know that your investment won’t go in vain. When the solar panel will be installed, the costs depreciate over time. The system itself adds value to your home.

We have measurement scales for every element. For example, if we have to buy milk, we have measuring scale called liter, if we want to buy sugar, we have measuring scale kilogram. But the question arises that what will be an appropriate measure of a solar panel?

Now we are interested in the amount of electricity a panel produces. However, panels output depends upon the amount of light strike it. Through this method a panel is classified according to the electricity produced under these condition. The measurement is expressed as watts peak (Wp).

In order to get cost per watts peak, we have to divide cost of the panel by its power output. So the cost per watt peak is only one factor in determining the total cost of a photovoltaic system.
