Please help me figure out which proposal to move forward with. I’ve reviewed quotes from 14 different solar companies…with 7 from EnergySage. I’m leaning towards the first one below but I am thinking we should inquire about switching from Tesla 7.6 inverters to the IQ8+. Am I missing anything important I should be looking at? I do not plan to finance unless a magical deal appears-which I doubt based on rates I’ve seen with crazy origination fees.

Option 1:

Solar Panels 37 x REC420 Solar Inverter 2 x Tesla Inverter 7.6kW System Size 15.54 kW Cost: $39,700

Adding a battery, costs have ranged from $14,500 to $17,500

Warranties: Solar Panels 25 years Solar Inverters 12.5 years Tesla and 25 years Emphase Microinverter Battery 10 years Workmanship 25 years Roof Leak 5 years Production Guarantee 25 Year – At least 85% of the Scanifly production, less degradation year over year

VERSUS

Option 2: Number of panels 35 – panels manufactured by installer Watts per panel 450 Solar Inverter 9 x Hoymiles Microinverters 1500NT System size 15.8 kW Cost: $33,075 Tesla Powerwall 2: $14,000
