Ahh yes, the burning question on everybody's mind. There is not a set answer because of a few factors. Each installation is site specific, meaning the location of the panels and the consumer hot water requirement changes with just about every installation. That being said, a good estimate on a 3-4 person home using 2 collectors, a new 80 gallon tank with the SolVelox installed could run $5,000 to $6,000 depending on the installation. Make sure you check with your local dealer for more detailed installation prices. But when you take into account the government tax credit programs (up to $3,400 with both federal and NC state) and the fact that you will get around a 25-30% return on your investment each year through energy savings, I doesn't take that long at all to see the money going back into you pocket for years to come.
