I've got a quote from a smaller company out here in Crystal Lake which is $2.89 with Solar Edge and Solaria 350W modules. I've seen their installs and they are very clean looking.Black on Black modules 100% required for me.
Sunrun came out here and left quickly once they knew that I wouldn't do PPA or lease.
My biggest concern about these smaller solar companies is the 'What happens when SREC goes away'. I'm not sure how they will survive in IL because the way these ROI makes sense is only because of the SREC + 30% Fed. That is one of my biggest reasons of wanting to use Telsa, but they don't have my zip code open, even though the town 1 mile from my house is open.
Financing is not an issue for me so I'm all set.
I looked at
@Nayyer's install and I get concerned that those aren't black on black panels and no side skirts.
I do have a question on the SREC.... when that check gets cut, is that taxable income or is it considered a rebate?
