Is $27,000 to install a 5.28 kW solar system with battery and full roof replacement a fair price?

Project Details

This is a follow-up to my earlier post about a solar installer proposing a 5-year ownership hold before transferring the system to me. I’m now trying to sanity-check the actual pricing they’re offering. I appreciate any input — especially from folks who’ve dealt with similar configurations.

Quote Details

The proposed system includes a 5.28 kW solar array, an Enphase IQ Battery 10C, and a full roof replacement. The total price covers all aspects of the project. - Solar Panels: 12x Silfab 440W (5.28 kW total system size) - Microinverters: Enphase IQ8HC - Battery Storage: 1x Enphase IQ Battery 10C - Roof Work: Full roof replacement (valued at $10,500) - Inclusions: Solar, battery, microinverters, installation, permitting
