Is $38,811 to install 34 solar panels and a Tesla Wall 3 battery system a fair price?
Project Details
I am planning to install this system before the solar tax credit expires. I expect the system to cover 113% of my current electricity needs, and the breakeven point is estimated at 8 years. I am confident this is a legitimate company. I am unsure how to calculate the cost per KW, specifically whether to use the panel cost (before or after discounts) or the full install costs of both panels and battery (before or after discounts). After discussing with my consultant, it turned into an either/or situation, and I have decided to proceed with only the power wall.
