Is $30,000 to install a FranklinWH aPower2 battery system a fair price?
Project Details
I’m setting up a solar system using Enphase IQ8P microinverters with 28 REC Alpha Pure-RX 460W panels (11.67 kW system). My goal is whole-home backup and to get close to net-zero. I’m currently using IQ8P microinverters, but I want solid backup and expansion options later. I’ve leaned toward IQ8 microinverters mainly to avoid a single point of failure and to take advantage of panel-level optimization and monitoring. I understand that pairing them with a hybrid inverter like the EG4 18KPV introduces redundancy, especially when it comes to AC vs. DC coupling.
