Is $31,968 to install a 11.31 kW solar panel system a fair price?
Project Details
Finally, after 5 months, 10 proposals, 1 PPA, and 3 site surveys, I signed a solar contract! I tried hard to get REC 460w or something equivalent, but the high price per watt led me to settle for the Qcells. I'm looking for feedback on the pros and cons of this deal.
