Is $54,700 to install a 15kW solar system with battery storage a fair price?
Project Details
I am trying to figure out if this quote is in the ballpark. I estimated 7500 kWh yearly based on the panel specs and position, and plugging the data into ChatGPT returned about 18 cents per kWh lifetime. I am wondering if this is a reasonable deal, as I didn't proceed in November and the price is now about 10% more expensive. This quote also qualifies for a Tax Credit of $16,410.00 and a State Credit of $5,000.00, bringing the total after incentives to $33,290.00.
