Comment on Alberta (Canada) slaps punitive tax on solar panelsparent

Comments

If you're building out, say 12kw of PV, that's about 24 panels for a modern install (500w bifacial n panels).

So a $336 premium, or roughly 1.3 additional panels in terms of cost.

While sure, that's not nothing, it's ~$6700 vs ~$7050, or a ~5% premium to the pre-tax cost of the panels.

Panels are much cheaper than that.

Here’s 31 445W panels for $4,650, full retail. This is literally the first google result I clicked.

Two and a half years ago I bought 18 405W panels for $3,312, full retail. They were cheaper wholesale.
