I'm located in the SF Bay Area. I've been considering solar for a while, and over the course of the last several months, I've had a number of local solar companies out to give me estimates. Here's a summary of the quotes from 3 installers:
Company 1
System Size: 6.75 kW
Panels: (18) LG 375W - LG375Q1C-V5
Gross Price: $25,042
Company 2
System Size: 7.25 kW
Panels: (21) LG 345W - LG345N1C-V5
Gross Price: $30,262
Company 3
System Size: 7.0 kW
Panels: (20) LG 350W - LG350Q1C-A5
Gross Price: $25,729
Based on Tesla's website, their medium 8.16 kW system is only $16,000. That is anywhere between $9k - $14K less than all the estimates I've received. How is this possible? I haven't actually placed my order; are they potentially going to come back after they do their initial design with a completely different price?
