I had a Tesla order for a 12kW system and 2 powerwalls. Time from design to site assessment was 6 months and I started to get cold feet reading about the lack of post-sale support from Tesla - my main concern was what if an inverter goes out and I'm stuck paying an energy bill for months waiting for a fix when I've already shelled out tens on thousands to not have to? So I'm probably going to cancel and try to find a local place that would use microinverters.
Energysage has been giving me a lot of quotes and SolarOptimum seemed pretty competitive. Their quoted price for a 12 kW system with new Enphase microinverters and two powerwalls was right in line with Tesla's but they were quoting for Solar4America 410-108MH10 panels. I know that that company declared bankruptcy during COVID and were acquired by SPI but I'm hesitant to get the first run of this restructured company's panels.
Here are the panel specs:
Am i right to be wary of these? Should they be alright? Should I have them quote me on something like an REC panel? Is SolarOptimum a good company?
@Vines can you please weigh in here?
