Is $64,680 to install a 42-panel, 23.1 kWh solar system with 3 Enphase batteries a fair price?

Project Details

I am about to proceed with this solar system installation. While it's not the cheapest quote I received, Lumina Solar seems to have a strong reputation with high ratings on Google and EnergySage, and an A+ BBB rating, which gives me confidence they will be around for the long term. I plan to finance the system initially at a 5.99% rate, expecting to pay about $150 less than my current electric bill for the first year. I intend to pay off the system in about a year when work bonuses come in. I'm looking for any missing considerations in my analysis.
