How much for the quoted systems? And what expected output? Genuinely curious
Comment on U.S. residential solar on the brink of collapse

Not surprised, the several quotes I got to install them on my roof were crazy. Could have got a new roof like twice for the price of putting solar on top. And this was a couple years ago before all these new tariffs.
A 20 year break-even timeline isn’t much of a value proposition.

The dirty secret of any home reno tax credit is that the industry gobbles them up with markups. The price ends up being exactly the same as it would be without the tax credit, so it’s a subsidy for uncompetitive installation companies rather than families who want to invest in green energy.
