Is $40,000 to install a 10.4 kW solar panel system with REC 400AA Pure Black panels a fair price?
Project Details
I have gone through a number of different quotes and am now down to two options. I'm looking for any advice between these two, as they are very close in kWh production and cost. I am at a loss and would greatly appreciate any help. Can someone explain why they might be a non-functional pairing, and if option #2 is a good matchup regardless?
