As Oman accelerates its renewable energy transition, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have become a hot topic. This article breaks down the latest solar panel costs, installation trends, and government incentives to help you make informed decisions. Whether you're a homeowner or business owner, discover how solar energy can cut your electricity bills while supporting sustainability goals.

Factors Influencing Solar Panel Costs in Oman

Solar PV system prices depend on several variables:

• System size: Residential setups typically range from 3 kW to 20 kW
• Panel efficiency: Monocrystalline panels (18-22% efficiency) cost 15-20% more than polycrystalline
• Installation complexity: Rooftop vs. ground-mounted systems
• Inverter type: String inverters vs. microinverters
