Is $0 to install residential solar panels via PPA a fair price?
Project Details
I was solicited by NextEra Energy and have been very interested in solar panels for my house. I've seen extremely poor reviews for many solar companies, especially Sunrun. My roof is almost new. I'm just about willing to go forward with this offer, but I'm looking for advice on things to watch out for regarding installation, financing, or the contract, and what a reasonable price per kWh would be.
