Is $32,000 to install 18 REC 460AA solar panels with Enphase IQ8X inverters a fair price?
Project Details
I am looking for input on whether this is a good combination and price, or if I should ask for any changes. I am in the Los Angeles area and do not want a battery. I am also wondering if 450W panels are better than 460W panels, and if there's a good alternative if they need to switch. I am with LADWP, so NEM3 does not apply to my situation.
