Maine Solar Solutions. Roughly $20,000 for a 7.68kW system. Contract signed in Q1 of 2022 and installed in Q2 of 2022. I did not use solar financing. The company was very easy to work with, they actually came on-site to do a site-survey and were willing to negotiate on the pricing somewhat. Install was completed almost 2 months early and I haven't had a power bill since. I'm on track to produce about 10% more power than they estimated so I'm installing a heat pump to try and use it up.

Beware of solar loans through companies like Mosiac. They advertise a low rate but charge a huge fee up front, sometimes as much as 30% of the total project.

I don't offer Mosaic because there was a 29% dealer fee. The only reason you would use Mosaic is if you have a poor credit score. That is literally the only time Mosaic makes sense. Companies have adopted Mosaic, and their horrible customer service, because they make it super easy to sign up at a steep cost.

To be clear, when I say a 29% dealer fee, I mean they charge the installer 29% of the cost of the array. So, an installer selling a $40K array will have to pay a $11,600 fee to Mosaic!

Maine Solar Solutions strongly discouraged me from using Mosaic and I'm glad that they did.
