For off-grid or grid tied, the new eg4 18K and 13Kw battery ( heated )
for 10K is probably the first of what I consider is 4th generation solar
systems. First system that is truly integrated, turn key solar. No
piece of this, piece of that, this special settings, that special
firmware. Connect around 6 wires, 9 if on-grid, and off to the races
you go!

check signature solar, $0.25/w with free shipping I believe, also the
inverters and batteries are a fraction of the cost you mentioned

I’m contemplating solar at home.
I’m seeing $0.60/watt here if you’re buying qty 10 of 550W
panels. Is that a good price these days?
https://sungoldpower.com/collections/monocrystalline-solar-panel
I haven’t looked at panels in some years, but that sounds almost
/too/ low. Are they going to murder me with the shipping cost?
Same site sells a 6000W MPPT inverter/charger with optional
battery connection for $1600. And a wall mounted 5.1 KWh LifePo4
battery for about $1700.
Seems like I could get 10x 550W panels, the inverter, and a
battery for a little under $6600 before shipping. NY has suspended
sales tax on solar power so no sales tax. I have not added up
wire, mounting hardware, or other ancillary things, but the big
ticket items look pretty dang reasonable. It should produce about
$1000/year worth of electricity (based on a website telling me
3.79 average peak sun hours per day in NY). That seems worth it
even with no incentives, but there’s also a federal tax credit and
some state level incentives too.
…and NY is ranked 47^th out of the 50 states for solar
production. So it’s better for most of you.
Have we crossed a threshold where it’s become stupid NOT to do solar?
