Is $29,500 to install a solar panel system with battery storage a fair price?
Project Details
I was quoted for a solar panel system that would only offset about 55% of my home's power demands, which is the maximum my roof can accommodate. The engineer seemed hesitant about whether this was worthwhile. My local utility's "balanced" electric monthly plan is approaching $500 per month, which is outrageous. My wife and kids are constantly running the AC and dryer, and we charge our EV maybe once or twice a week. I'm looking for a way to manage constantly increasing electricity costs from PSEG and gain some cost protection.
