Is $64,000 to install solar panels and a Tesla battery a fair price?
Project Details
I am getting solar quotes, but neither company has put the dollar amount in writing. I'm in IL, and I'm aware of multiple rebates available, including the Federal 30% credit, $11K from federal, $8.5K from IL SRECs grp b, $2.4K from ComEd for solar, and $8K from ComEd for a battery. I also heard about a $900 per year for 5 years depreciation tax credit, but I can't find information on it. I've estimated my own total actual cost for materials and installation to be around $34,000. I've tried getting more quotes and received three with similar designs. The Illinois Shines program is confusing on their site.
