What affects the price
The final investment for an SSDI installation depends on a few key variables. First, the total capacity of the system—measured in kilowatts—is the biggest factor; larger homes needing more power will naturally require more panels. The complexity of your roof’s layout, its current condition, and the type of mounting hardware chosen also impact labor hours. Additionally, choosing high-efficiency panels or adding battery storage systems to keep power running during outages will adjust the total.
