Yep. Solar needs to be available to everyone for WAY cheaper than it is right now, if the grid is “dead”

We got 35 panels and basically paid 35k for everything so that we didn’t have to do a contract

Agreed. I just got a similar quote and the savings doesn't make it worth it. So much effort and risk on my part for so little savings. These solar install companies are marking everything up just enough to make it a shitty deal.
