Is $32,000 to install a 17.63 kW solar panel system with Qcells and Enphase IQ8X microinverters a fair price?
Project Details
I have a quote for two solar systems and am seeking advice on comparing them. Both systems have nominally the same 25-year warranty which includes labor. I'm concerned about the panels with integrated microinverters in option 2, wondering if that's a disaster waiting to happen. I also have no background relationship with either company and am weighing the pros and cons of a big national company versus a small local company, especially regarding warranty longevity. I have no shading and live in one of the sunniest climates (Florida). Tesla quotes were on par or more expensive unless a battery was included.
