Frequently asked questions
What is the median price of a new solar panel today?
In the 06/11/2026 catalog, the median price is $399, across 21 new solar panels from trusted sellers. Half cost less than that and half cost more.
How much does each score point cost?
Today’s collection doesn’t have enough solar panels with a score to calculate this.
Why the median and not the average?
Because a few very expensive solar panels pull the average up and hide the price most people pay. The median shows the solar panel in the middle.
How often does the overview change?
Every day, with each new collection. Each collection saves a snapshot of the price and score of each solar panel, and the "What changed" section compares today’s with the previous one and, when available, with the one from about a week earlier.

Where the numbers come from
Lowest price seen for the product in the stores we read, on the day it was read, before sales tax. Median of each range calculated over the solar panels in the range; the score only considers the solar panels that have a score.
The overview describes the Radar catalog, not the whole solar panels market, and the price is the one collected on the date shown.
