Looking for advice: is this a fair price?

[J.P.M.]

Before you get any more bids or do anything else, get more informed about how you use energy and how to use less of it.
Your lack of energy education will cost you, both in $$'ss and system quality.
Download and read a free PDF of "Solar Power Your Home for Dummies".
Looks to me vendors are preying on your solar ignorance.
Like Richard and SunEagle, those prices seem high to me.
Get informed before you get more quotes and you may agree with us or you may find out that prices in MO are higher than we guess.
Either way, the self education will help you get a decent system at a fair price. Solar ignorance will not do either of those things.

Like SunEagle, that price seems to be on the very high end. That being said, I have no idea about the current market conditions in your location. Get more bids before making a decision.

Hello weodx and welcome to Solar Panel Talk

IMO that price is way too high but again depending on where you live and the installers available I would still shop around before I purchased a system.

Hello, New to the forum and I'm looking advice for a new system. I'm considering going solar, and I got a quote for a 6kW DC solar system (with no battery backup) for $47k. That's before the tax credit and the goodies that they put on the paper to sweet the eye. I live in Kansas City, MO, and I know there are a lot of details to look for, but wonder if this is a high price or reasonable market price. Most I look around says it should be in the $16k range or $3-5 per watt, but this one falls in $7.96 per watt... and I still don't have the batteries which I would like include it... It seems is one of the best reviewed companies and seems is not one of the cheap ones, but Any opinions? Should I keep looking around?


Thanks!
