Is $30,360 to install a 24-panel solar system a fair price?

Project Details

I got two quotes for solar panels in Okanagan, BC. I'm located in an area where I should get a $5k rebate from Hydro and can get a 0% loan for 10 years. I upgraded my service to 200A with a 225 bus bar to maximize the system size. There's a tree I can't remove that causes shade, impacting the output of the 30-panel option. I'm debating the ROI and payback period, which I calculate to be around 21-22 years with the rebate. I want solar for environmental reasons but also need it to make financial sense. I'm concerned about the system's lifespan relative to the payback period.

This option includes a 24-panel solar system using LONGi panels and APSystems inverters. It predicts yearly savings of $1,200 and that 66% of energy will come from solar. The cost per watt is $2.81. - Panels: 24 x LR7-54HGBB-450M LONGi - Inverters: 12 x DS3-L APSystems - Panel Product Warranty: 25 Years - Panel Performance Warranty: 30 Years - Inverter Product Warranty: 10 Years
