Is $483 to install a solar panel system with battery storage a fair price?
Project Details
I am looking for a decent quote for solar panels. The company mentioned using Amigos and that I could potentially receive a credit of $100+/month during winter months, which I could cash in. I also believe there are free weekends included. My main concern is understanding the benefit of installing solar panels; I was told I would have 24/7 electricity and the electricity company would buy back my energy. Even though the monthly rate is higher than what I'm currently paying, I understand that electricity prices are expected to continue increasing.
