There is a possibility that your solar panels will increase the cost of your home insurance since they add to the price of your home. However, this is dependent on your homeowners policy. 

Homeowners’ policies usually rate their premiums according to the value of the house, so in the event of an accident, your home is adequately covered. Therefore your insurance policy will likely increase to match the increased value of your home.

The average home typically needs an eight-kW solar system to fully cover residential electricity needs. An eight-kW Maxeon (previously SunPower) solar panel system from Freedom Solar has 24 solar panels. 

If your home is on the lower end of electricity usage, you can sell your excess energy to your utility provider through a net metering program. That way, you are still benefiting from your panels without using their entire energy output.
