Hi all,
Obligatory 'thank you' to all those who contribute to this forum. Amazing resource for a newbie like me. I received great referrals from several forum members.
I previously posted about possibly going the DIY-esque route (buy my own hardware and have someone install it) but have since decided to contract with a company for both the hardware and install. I've narrowed my search down to two highly recommended solar companies in San Diego. Both companies have 20+ years of electrical contractor experience, 5+ years of solar installation experience, and do not subcontract. Here are the proposals that I'm considering:
Option # 1
System size (STC): 8,160 watts
Panels: Hanwha panels (qty 32)
Inverter: Solar Edge 7600
Price (pre-tax incentive): $24,999 or $3.06 /watt
Option # 2
System size (STC) 6,720 watts
Panels: LG280 (qty 24)
Inverter: Solar Edge 7600
Price (pre-tax incentive): $22,243 or $3.31 /watt
Disregard the difference in system sizes. Each installer used a different set of assumptions on how many panels I could fit/want on my roof. I plan to normalize the size and therefore am focusing primarily on $/watt and panel reliability.
Any feedback on these two proposals in terms of equipment and cost?
Thanks in advance!
