Is $18,970 to install a 7.6kW solar system with Panasonic panels and Enphase microinverters a fair price?

Project Details

I got two quotes for solar in Phoenix Arizona with roughly the same total cost (~$19,000) but different system sizes and hardware configurations, and I wanted to share my experience working with competitors. I am not getting a battery, it's too expensive everywhere. I just moved so I don’t have my first energy bill yet. I expected a remaining bill, it didn't seem like any of these systems would be enough to cover it here.
