Just signed the contract. Really happy with the price. But my buyers remorse started to kick in right way as usual. BTW, I paid $1000 as deposit at signing, and scheduled to pay $20,000 after install, and the rest when build permit sign-off. Is this the standard pay schedule for installing solar system?

System spec:
27 X SolarWorld 280 Mono Black
27 X Enphase M250 Micro Inverters
Total cost (pre-taxcredit): $25,700 ($3.4/W)

I saw the company truck in the neighborhood when I was walking my dog. Contacted them the next day, and got a great price right out of the gate. Took me another week to negotiate to the price I signed. Chatted with the neighbor, made sure they were happy with the install before signing, and found out they actually were in contract with another company, but the job got sub-contracted to this company to do the actually installation, and they were paying more than $4/W. (No, I didn't tell them the price I got)

BTW, my house is only 2-year old. Everything is up to standard. And it even has a pre-wired solar port in the garage, so the solar panels wires can come from the roof straight to the garage without the ugly pipes outside. I was able to receive some discount on that from multiple vendors.
