After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back! We recently moved into a new home and am getting solar installed now. Exciting stuff but I could use the help of the forum for a question that just came up. New home is in a location where mean maximum high in the summer is 95f / 35c and mean minimum low in...

Looking to build a good sized new home with a large and complex roof. The quotes I've gotten so far for a Solar Roof are...well they're high. Just curious if anyone else has gotten a recent quote to help me understand if the area we're looking to build is marked up or if these systems are...
