My wife and I have been getting quotes for going solar at our home. We live in FL and FPL (Florida Power and Light) offers net metering so we are hoping to go to zero energy costs once system is installed. We average about 2550kwh a month ($300). We are located in South Florida (East Coast).
My question is on pricing. It's hard to determine if I am getting a good deal so I figured I would ask on the forum for some input. 1st quote is from Advance Solar.
Here are the basics:
49 LG 310 panels
Solar Edge inverter with remote access via cellular link
Apricus Solar Hot Water Heater with 80 gallon tank
Hayward Variable speed pump for pool (to replace our energy sucking current pump)
Everything installed, permits, racking, wiring, etc....
$52k before any rebate. He's telling me that equates to 3.2 cents per Kw.
I received another quote from a roofing/solar company (Bison) including the following:
58 Centrosolar 290 panels for a 16.8kw system
Solar Edge inverter with remote access via cellular link
AO Smith Hybrid hot water heater
2 Nest thermostats
20 LED bulbs
Hayward Variable speed pump for pool (to replace our energy sucking current pump)
Everything installed, permits, racking, wiring, etc....
$49k before any rebate.
Apologies if I am using any incorrect terminology or acronyms.
My gut says to go with Advance Solar based on their presentation and experience. Having said that, still not sure on pricing.
Thoughts?
