If you don't mind sharing, what did you pay out of pocket to get everything set up?

I’m not home now, but I think it was about 38k all in before government rebates for a 10kw system.

That's a fair rate but I think you can do a bit better. I had a $12.4 kW system installed for $38.4k. Contract signed last July.

Is that before the 30% credit?

ScottieWP t1_j684loc wrote on January 28, 2023 at 12:18 PM

Yes that is pre-tax credit, you don't get the tax credit until you do your taxes for the year.

Wow that's a pretty good price a $2.16 / kwh. I'll have to get a quote from that company. Is it using micro inverters? Who was the company?

ScottieWP t1_j686opi wrote on January 28, 2023 at 12:42 PM

Yes, micro inverters as well from Enphase. I talked with 11 different companies, both regional and national, before deciding. I went with Sun Dial Solar. It was a good experience and I would recommend them. My runner-up was 603 Solar.

Appreciate it! 603 Solar quote me the $2.63

Both of their prices were within a few cents per watt installed back in July. Not sure how it might have changed since then with inflation and how the supply chain is doing. You can also check out Monarch Solar. Anyone who gives you an hour long fancy sales presentation is probably going to be expensive, so stay away from those. Sounds like you already know more or less what you want. Fuat at Sun Dial is no BS which I appreciated.
