Is $41,738 to install a 13.25kW solar system with Silfab panels a fair price?
Project Details
I still have a generator for when we lose power. Adding a 16kWh battery would have added $16,000 before federal and state incentives, but I already have a 10kWh Jackery battery that I can attach to a critical loads panel to handle outages. My main concern is that the salesperson initially quoted a smaller Solar Edge 7.6kW inverter. I had to point out that with my direct southern exposure, there would be clipping, and he then corrected it to a Solar Edge Energy Hub 10.0kW. I'm worried that the smaller inverter would have been installed if I hadn't noticed. I'm also looking for other reputable installers in my area.
