I have five homes I’m putting solar on and have looked at many vendors. Solar City is about 30% more than Sungevity or the other company I’m using Alive Industries.
So far, I’ve installed two systems from Sungevity:
If you can’t use the tax credit, a prepaid lease is best from a cash flow perspective. 3 KW with 4400 kWh production cost $8800 as prepaid lease.
Second system was 4.9 KW producing 8300 kWh/year with a fixed $83/month cost for 20 years with no escalation, Solar City goes up 2.5%/year.
Third system is a prepaid lease 4.3 kw at 6300 kWh/year, prepaid lease for $12,000.
Sungevity referral code: 339190
Fourth system buying from Alive Industries as I can add more panels later.
Fifth system also from Alive for same reason so I can add later.
