Is $234 to install a solar energy system with a new roof a fair price?
Project Details
I know this is another post about a quote. My plan is to buy out the system in 5-10 years, depending on medical expenses. I understand the 5% ACH discount can add up, and I want to get out of the PPA before it becomes too costly. My house is south-facing and gets sun all day. I would prefer a flex/hybrid option but don't have the cash or down payment for it, which is why I'm considering a buyout in a few years when the PPA payment equals a loan payment. I'm looking for opinions on whether this seems like a good deal and a fair quote if I get everything in writing.
