install a 10.12kW solar panel system

Is $27,324 to install a 10.12kW solar panel system a fair price?

Project Details

I signed my contract a few weeks ago. We got utility approval without a problem and the town permits are slated to be approved early next week. Hopefully my installation will quickly follow so I have a chance to be turned on this summer. My average usage for the prior 12 months was just over 10kWh with an average monthly bill of $184, which was before the massive ~20% increase that came/is coming.
