Last time I got solar installed in 2015 with Solarcity, I had a chance to review the contract and proposal before signing the contract and scheduling an install.
In CT now, many companies are very aggressively selling solar. We had a company rep walk up this week (Monument Solar), and they're coming back next week to work up a quote/proposal.
But when I go to tesla.com to sign up for solar, they want a $100 non-refundable deposit (which is fine), but it's not for getting a quote or proposal, it seems to be actually signing a real contract with only three days to cancel.
So how does one go about getting a proposal/quote from Tesla to compare to other companies, rather than signing a contract from the start? The tesla site recommends a 16kW system -- I'm not sure our roof is big enough to support that size. So how does it work? At what point can I get a Tesla quote, but back out if we want to go with a local company?
I mean most likely I'll go with Tesla Energy, but I'm a little uncomfortable signing a contract before we even know the size and real cost of a new install.
thanks.
