Your federal tax credit is 30% through 2016.  For your state tax credit see http://dsireusa.org/

In Louisiana you can get 30% plus 50% on a system that costs $25,000, so you would get $20,000 here!

Currrently, you can receive a federal tax credit for 30% of system and installation costs.

In California, the state rebate incentive has been exhausted and is no longer available.

Typically, the price of your system should depend on how many panels you are having installed.  It is recommended to get a few competitive quotes and always check the reputation of the installers.

Learn more at http://solareenergy.com/pricing/.  This includes some sample pricing information and can help you get a better idea.  Average system size is about 5.5kW and should cost somewhere in the ballpark of $20,000.  This would give you to a $6,000 federal tax credit.
