Is $120,000 to install a 32.48 kW ground-mounted solar array a fair price?
Project Details
I received this as my first quote for a solar installation and I'm concerned about the cost, as I believe the panels and inverters can be acquired for around $22,000. I'm wondering what accounts for the remaining nearly $100,000 of the cost. I'm going to check with a few other local installers in my area.
