Is $27,370 to install a solar panel system with REC Alpha Pure panels and Enphase inverters a fair price?
Project Details
I am located in NJ and need a solar panel system for my home, which requires roughly 9,000kWh. I plan to pay cash and buy the system outright. I've received mixed information from the companies, particularly regarding the use of REC 460W panels in residential settings. I'm trying to decide which equipment is worth the money, considering the company and installers also play a part. These quotes are the out-of-pocket costs before tax credits and SREC IIs. I am leaning towards Quote 3 but like the RECs in Quote 1, although I find the cost difference hard to justify. I plan to avoid the company from Quote 2.
