Is $3,300 to purchase a Solar Insure warranty a fair price?

Project Details

I am getting 53 Jinko 450W tiger neo panels with 2 Tesla Powerwall installed. The installer first included Solar Insure in the quote but is now asking for an additional $3300 because the system doesn't have microinverter and Tesla Powerwall itself has a built-in inverter, making Solar Insure more expensive. I am questioning if this is true or if the installer is trying to get more money out of me. I am also wondering if I am better off just going without the warranty because I read the microinverters are the ones that break the most, and since my system doesn't have any, there is not much risk.

Quote Details

This quote is for the purchase of a Solar Insure warranty. The installer initially included this warranty in the overall system quote but is now requesting an additional $3300. The reason provided for the increased cost is that the system does not utilize microinverters, and the Tesla Powerwall units have built-in inverters, which reportedly makes the Solar Insure warranty more expensive for this specific configuration.

Thank you for your feedback!
