Is $33,428 to install a 9.88 kW solar panel system with QCELL panels a fair price?
Project Details
I'm trying to compare these two solar quotes. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but using DC watts would ignore the fact that the inverters may be clipping, no? So that makes sense for comparing panels, but for comparing the entire system using AC watts makes more sense.
