I have an appointment with them next week to discuss adding a ground mounted solar panel. They stopped by yesterday to check out the spot where it's going to be and it looks great

Do you mind sharing how much the panel + installation was and if it is a ground mount or roof? We are anxiously waiting for the estimate next week and have no idea what it will look like. I'm thinking it's going to be close to $30k but honestly don't know

A 14kW system in 2019 was around $30k, can’t recall exactly (our project included a lot of other needed electrical work on our home). It was a rooftop installation on a metal roof. Can’t say enough good about Main Solar Solutions. Our across the street neighbor chose them a year later for their project.

I used them. I preferred panels on the ground but at least for me they cost a lot more which is counterintuitive. On the roof 22 panels were about 30k before the state credit which was about 10k. They were great to work with, seemed like they were honest and used conservative estimates.

Look into a solar shed instead of a traditional ground mount if you want to get some value out of the structure. Maine Solar Solutions will know what you're talking about.
