Is $34,020 to install a solar panel system a fair price?
Project Details
I'm looking for a review of this solar quote for my home in Southwest PA. I still have a couple of days to back out and it feels a little on the high end, but I'm unsure about the equipment quality. The quote is technically financed over 25 years at a 9.9% interest rate, but I plan to pay it off almost immediately. My house is 2 stories plus an attic, taller than most on the street, with a shingle roof from 2019 that is in good condition and not steep. The circuit breaker box is also good. I'm in Pittsburgh and haven't had much luck finding a better company, it feels like a minefield out there.
