For me aesthetics means a lot so I am thinking to go with Sun Power. At least that is what I have in mind, but would like some expert advice from all of you, before signing anything.
I live in New England area with national Grid. I have decided to go with a 15 yr feed in tariff which gives me $0.34/W and I currently pay about $0.17/W
I have gotten the following quotes: All the prices are before the 30% federal tax break.
2 Sun power are as follows:
Bid A:
Sun power X21 335W for a total of 32 panels (10.72 kW) black on black 11,519 kW.year. AC Size: 8.576
10yr Workman ship warranty
Annual performance testing
Sun power warranty with micro inverters.
They are Sun Power dealers
Price $43,500 ($4.05/watt)
Bid B:
Same panels
Except the warranty is 20yrs. For some reason they quoted: 12,006 kWh per year as compared to the bid A.
Performance warranty is also included meaning if it doesn't meet what they quoted they will pay the difference. (I assume they will quote the lowest and take the risk)
They are an elite dealership for Sun power ( i think it means they sell a lot)
$47,256 (i.e $4.40/watt)
Bid C: RGS did a lot in my area including my friend
Silfab 300M 36 panels (10.8kW) SLA 300M first yr production: 12,984 kwhs
Warranty is 25yrs with Enphase inverter M250
$33,644 (i.e 3.11/watt)
Bid D:
LG Neon 300W black 10.7Kw with 36 panels first yr is 12,166kWh
25yr linear performance warranty
12 yr product warranty
Enphase micrinverters IQ 6+ (not sure what 6+ means) 25yr warranty
15yr workmanship warranty
$37,800 ($3.5/w)
Bid E:
LG 320 34 Panels in total with 10.88kW in size
Inverter: Solar Edge optimizer with 25yrs warranty
Price: 34,272 which comes out to $3.15/watt
10 yr workmanship warranty
Bid F:
LG 320 Black 34 panels. total size is 10.88kW
Solar edge 25yr warranty included on all components.
10yr workmanship warranty
36,600 which is $3.66.watt
Due to the look thinking of going with bid A knowing that i will pay a little extra. Because the look will bother me a lot everyday if isn't all black.
I head some of the LG's are good in black not sure what you all think about that.
Thank you
