Is $70,000 to install a solar energy system with battery storage a fair price?
Project Details
I am in FL and have been going back and forth with solar. I am thinking of doing it before the tax credit ends. I was quoted $70k for this system and am wondering if it seems correct. I'm also looking for input on the panels and the new EcoFlow Ocean Pro batteries. The 3 EcoFlow Ocean Pro batteries, Smart Panel, and inverter would cost about $25k. I previously priced a Tesla system which was similar for two batteries, and was quoted $80k for a Tesla system, which I believe is overpriced. I'm close to pulling the trigger and seeking thoughts on the Ocean Pro batteries.
