Is $20,111 to install a 10.44 kW solar system a fair price?

Project Details

My annual energy use is 13.5kWh/year, with a monthly average use of 1124kWh and a monthly average cost of $226.29. I have too much income for MSAP. SRECs don't matter to me as I doubt we will overproduce much, and they will be almost identical across installers/setups as we are maxxing townhouse roof space as it is.
