Is $93,389 to install a 29.44 kW ground solar system with REC Alpha Pure panels a fair price?
Project Details
I really wish I didn't have to become a solar expert to know which installation is best, but I can't trust any salesperson, so I'm looking for a second opinion. I'm operating under the assumption that most installers will likely go out of business after the tax credits disappear. This is why I was leaning towards the REC Alpha Pure panels because their warranty covers labor, unlike the other option where the Jinko warranty covers parts and the installer covers labor, meaning I'd lose the labor warranty if the installer goes under. In NY, all overages are bought back. Everything else, including trenching, installing through asphalt, connecting, and permitting, is assumed to be the same between the two options.
