Solar, revisited

The system cost jumps up over $6k in price with the 1.99% loan. I questioned why and was told it’s because different financing programs require different origination fees. I said a 26% system cost increase due to origination fees sounds exorbitant.

Here’s the original proposal followed by the one I was sent a few days ago.

That doesn't pass the smell test. It may be that as with new cars, much of the profit is in the financing.

Locally, we were given the option to have all of our electric come from a solar farm they built in town. I contacted them, but all the slots were full. It seems that is also part of some federal program.
