Is $7,500 to install a residential battery a fair price?

Project Details

My home already has new solar panels and is fully permitted. I am considering taking the second route (install now, permit later) because my existing panel and solar wiring are already permitted, which would allow me to use the battery sooner. I am seeking advice on this situation, specifically on waiting 2-3 months for the permit versus proceeding with installation and getting permits later.

Quote Details

This quote covers the installation of a residential battery. The company offered two approaches for handling the permit process: - Permit Option 1: Apply for the permit, wait 2-3 months for approval, then schedule installation for an additional month out (estimated November-December installation). - Permit Option 2: Install the battery immediately and start the permit process concurrently, allowing for immediate use of the battery without waiting for permit approval.

Thank you for your feedback!
