How much would it cost to have new insulation, solar panels and water heater?
I'm in an Environmental Design class and I'm researching on a green remodel project that includes new insulation (roof and walls), solar panels and water heater for a remodel on a 2,000 sq. ft. home for 4 people living there. I need the costs of material AND labor per item. Let's say I'm remodeling a house in Southern California.
And yes, I know a thing called GOOGLE, but it's not helping much. Hopefully you can!
For the insulation, decide what type you want, then search Home Depot's website for a price.
For a solar hot water heater, if that's what you mean, call up a local Solar Installer. It will be in the neighborhood of $3-5k.
If you mean solar electric panels, Southern California is one of the best places, due to the rebate structure of SoCal Edison, PLUS the new uncapped federal tax credit coming on-line next year. Again, you need to decide how much power you want to put up. After all rebates, it could end up being $4-5 a watt. Again, a local solar installer in your phone book can give you a ballpark figure.
You can also find prices on photovoltaic kits at www.partsonsale.com . They're in the Palm desert, I think, not far from the hypothetical house's location. By the way, if you had just Googled "solar panel prices", that, and a lot of other places, would have come up. It's really not that hard to find.
