Is $58,000 to install a 15 kW ground mount solar system a fair price?

Project Details

I'm questioning if this quote is reasonable or a ripoff, especially regarding the cost of Maxeon panels. I'm also trying to understand the process for connecting the system to the grid and the need for an inspection from the electric company.
