No sales tax
None of this was explained by this contractor.
The better systems include battery backup to you can run off the grid at night
No up front cost only wants you to call, so he's doing this 10 years and can't give a range of cost?
Should state the savings and years to break even.
The issue here is our cost currently is low where it mostly doesn't pay off in a 55+ community.
What brand solar panels do you sell?
"american solar one" isn't listed on sunbiz.org as Florida Corp
Are you a franchise?
What's your location, one page website has no street address.
Who are you folks?
Sales presentation not very good for trying to sell a $40,000 job.

Hi jimbo2012
I have never talked to you, so you have not had a sales presentation. Solar may or may not work for your home, but as I know nothing about you home or electric consumption, I can't give you a price. Range of cost for residential solar is generally $10,000 to $100,000. It would all depend on your home, how much electricity you use, and how much of you current bill you want to offset. In The Villages, most systems would cost between $10,000 and $30,000. if you needed a new roof, that would be built into the total price.
There is no up-front cost unless you want to pay cash. If you want to pay cash:
30% due at contract
60% due at install
10% due at PTO
Also the Federal Tax incentive is 26%, not 22%. It will be at 26% in 2022 as well.
Most people do not have the cash sitting around, so they go with the finance option. It's a 1.49% loan. First payment is 60 days after install. So as I stated before, its zero down. Make sense now?
Have a great day!
