Is $30,311 to install an 11 kW solar system a fair price?
Project Details
I am new to solar and want to reduce my electric costs and take advantage of the tax credit. I'm looking for expertise and reassurance on this quote. I have 1:1 net metering. I was skeptical of the total power production and curious about the potential to add a battery at a later date if net metering policies change.
