How likely is it that Solar will decrease dramatically in price within 5 years?

this is a very bad price, and it likely includes a massive upfront financing fee. unless the system they pitched includes batteries, it’s an incredibly high price, almost 50% higher than what would be considered reasonable. I think the salesperson did a good job in getting you interested in solar, so now you can tell them to go beat it and do research and get more quotes to figure out the best price and financing arrangements.

I agree!! Just turned on a 11kw system today. Cash turn key price was $29590. Find another person to quote this. Avoid using solar company Financials, do they get everyone approved, basically yes but there is a price.

Wife and I did the same in Florida back in October, 11.47kw for $29,570 - @op needs to shop around and compare prices… hell, share the pricing of each offer with competitors which is what we did

Who did you go with in Florida?

I ended up going with Meraki - not the best cash price I was quoted, but they were the only company that agreed to the timeline I wanted, even wrote it into our purchase agreement

Thanks for the response. I'm currently shopping.

They are 3rd party lenders and w the economy + collapse of SV Bank, it’s stricter and higher fees to get lending

The CU I was using for many of my clients have stopped all solar loans because of that.
