Hey OzB Friends
I’ve so far received 2 quotes for solar, waiting on a 3rd. Here is the breakdown
- I have a single story, 3Br, 1 bath. Potentially buying a electric car soon. Nothing fancy or big.
- I live alone, do have a partner. Don't plan on being here for the long term but maybe buy another house and potentially rent this or sell it.
- Electric bills during the winter months are around $65 to $75 per month. Gas is around $350 during winter. Summer months for electricity the highest is goes to is about $100 (Jan) but cooled off to the 70s then 60s there after.
- was planning on putting 2 more split systems in each room
I've received these quotes and I feel like I'm being bent over without lube.
Here it goes
Quote 1- 6.175kW solar system; 13 Panels (Jinko Tiger Neo) ; Goodwe DNS GW5000D; Cirtcuit board upgrade extra $200
Total cost = $2700 after rebates
Quote 2 - 6.65kW solar system 14 panels (Jinko Tiger Neo); Goodwe DNS GW5000D; circuit upgrade included.
Total cost = $4300 after rebates
My dad got his solar installed last year - 20 Panels, double story. Only ended up paying $1600
What's going on here? Hoping to find some answers behind this from people with experience. To me, these quotes are a big no no no no. Was referred by solarquotes.
Inflation.
That and not shopping around…
