At a high level, solar panels are made up of solar cells, which absorb sunlight. They use this sunlight to create direct current (DC) electricity through a process called "the photovoltaic effect. ".
Based on our 2025 survey of 1,000 solar customers, the national average price for a single solar panel professionally installed is $1,200. This means most full-size systems of between 20 and 30 panels cost between $24,000 and $36,000.
On average, homeowners can expect to pay approximately S$1,500 to S$2,000 per kWp for a residential rooftop solar system. Therefore, a 10 kWp system, suitable for many landed properties, may cost between S$15,000 and S$20,000.
A PV array can be composed of as few as two PV panels to hundreds of PV panels. The number of PV panels connected in a PV array determines the amount of electricity the array can generate.
Let's cut through the noise - solar panel prices in Cameroon currently range from XAF 150,000 to XAF 450,000 per kilowatt, depending on technology and supplier. But wait, that's just the hardware cost. You know what they say about "hidden fees" in energy projects? We'll get to.
To calculate the number of solar panels your home needs, divide your home's annual energy usage, which is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), by your local production ratio.
