Is $44,920 to install a solar panel and battery storage system a fair price?
Project Details
My house is new construction and 'solar ready'. I currently use approximately 750 kWh per month, and my power bill is typically $150-$200 per month with Portland General Electric. The estimated break-even point for just the solar panels is 8 years, which seems like a wash to me. I want the battery primarily for resiliency during power outages, but I find the price steep. I'm also curious if battery technology has been improving rapidly and how the potential disappearance of tax credits might affect solar sales.
