Slightly off-topic but I wanted to ask this forum for some opinions on home solar costs.
The green bug bit me hard when I got my Karma...now I'm seriously considering doing a PV solar installation on my home. Problem is there are 1000s of companies out there and I don't know who to trust and what a good price is.
I got a quote yesterday for a 10 kW system (installed) that was going to run me $45k (before federal incentives) to purchase outright. Intuitively this just feels way too high to me. I need 40 250W panels from Canadian Solar....well, guess what, those exact panels are available on Amazon for $375 ea (or $15,000 total for 40). How in the world am I supposed to believe that the installation and other equipment needed equals $30k? Do I really look that stupid? Wait, don't answer that... lol.
Anybody here care to share with me what their total installed cost for a ~10kW system was and if you would recommend the outfit to me - either here in the thread or on PM.
Many thanks in advance.
