Is $50,000 to install a 16kW solar system with Tesla Powerwall 3 battery a fair price?
Project Details
I made a post earlier about a SunRun lease that was $282 a month fixed for 25 years for a 16kW system with no battery, but I've ruled out that lease. I'm not really familiar with solar and am looking for advice on whether this deal is worth it. I would finance $32,000 after rebates, but I plan to pay it off much sooner than 25 years. I would still be getting the rebate.
