Is $57,000 to install a 19.8 kw solar system via a 25-year ppa a fair price?
Project Details
I am a longtime lurker looking to move forward with solar. My current electric bill averages ~$307/month and I used 18,500 kWh last year. I am evaluating PPAs because the federal tax credit is not available to me, and I am concerned about resale friction and the 6th-year buyout valuation.
Quote Details
- $0 down payment and $0 installation cost - Fixed rate of $0.115/kWh with no annual escalator - Monthly payment of approximately $190 - Includes maintenance, monitoring, and servicing - Buyout option available after year 6 at fair market value - System estimated to produce 19,800 kWh per year
