There is no way you can buy a solar system with battery backup that will be even close to the same price as a whole house generator. The bAttery cost alone would be 12-18k. I am not sure if the battery backup qualifies for the energy credit.


We sell up to a 15kw system. The 10kw system is more than enough to run an average 2000sf house and it cost 14000. No more energy bill.

Unless you improved efficiency, a 10KW system would not offset the power usage of a 2000 sqft house.

You would only produce roughly 1,500kwh per month at best with a 10KW system. Most 2,000 sqft homes use more than that per month.
