Is $42,000 to install a 19.6 kW DC solar system with battery backup a fair price?
Project Details
I am about to purchase this system and am looking for advice on whether I should change anything, like the batteries, inverters, or panels. I think the batteries might be overpriced. I will be paying cash. I got quotes a few years ago before replacing my roof, and they were around $50k but didn't include microinverters or batteries. It's been difficult to find a company that isn't shady and pushy. I want to get my electric bill as close to $0 as possible. I'm tired of seeing $500-600 bills, even when it's not summer. I am in Florida. Now I think I might go with two different batteries instead (APR-10K15V2-US 15kWh aPower 2).
