Quotes for a 7 kW system in TX

Advertisements

I’m considering a few quotes from local installers and I’m wondering if they’re competitive enough. One of the salesmen told me not to pay too much attention to EnergySage marketplace averages, but I’m not sure that was unbiased advice. I’ve narrowed it down to the following two, from reputable installers in my area.

Option 1

System size: 7.03 kW

Panels: Sunpower SPR-415

Inverter: Enphase microinverters (built in Sunpower microinverters, I believe they’re the same product but rebranded)

Cash price (before incentive): $29,874

Price per Watt: $4.25

Option 2

System size: 7.2 kW

Panels: Q.PEAK DUO BLK ML-G10+ 400w panel

Inverter: SolarEdge SE7600H-US

Cash price (before incentive): $23,400

Price per Watt: $3.25

Is Sunpower worth the extra cost? The only reason I’m thinking extra hard about it is because of the Sunpower “1 warranty” system, and the fact that the installer who gave me option 2 does not install Enphase microinverters whatsoever. I’ve read quite a bit about SolarEdge inverters having a high failure rate, so that’s keeping me from going with option 2.

Hypothetically, if I could get the SunPower system for less than $3.80 per Watt (before federal tax incentive), would that be worth the premium at that point?
