Path-Q Solar

What should I include when estimating the total cost of a solar installation?

Answer

Include panels, inverters, mounting, labor, electrical work, design, permits, interconnection, roof or structural work, monitoring, taxes, financing costs, batteries, and future maintenance or replacement allowances.

  • Separate optional batteries and upgrades.
  • Identify exclusions and possible site allowances.

What it depends on

  • System design

Risks and trade-offs
