That's an insane number. 25 solar panels + 9 kW inverter + bindings and wires would result in around 8000$.


Seemed crazy to me too. If it had been $8k plus battery costs I would have done it.


That's unfortunate. I got my 8.25KW system + Powerwall installed through Tesla for ~$26K in 2021. Just got my 26% tax credit this year. Also added a Tesla Model 3 in 2021 to complete the Tesla Ecosystem. Truly a dream come true.

My loan payments are less than $140/mo and I plan to completely pay off the system in the next year or so. Living off the sun is great.
