I chose SolarWholesale / Next Energy Alliance because they had a local office and offered the lowest overall price I could find. It took them 28 business days or 40 total days from the time I signed the contract until I was generating power. And, the panels were actually installed after 13 business days or 19 total days after the contract was signed. I don't think many companies can beat that short install timeframe. And, did I mention that they were the lowest price I could find in Utah? I am a Utilities Engineer, and I have to admit that I am super-happy with my experience. I would say I am pretty impatient and pretty hard to please overall, and I am still delighted with my experience. SolarWholesale added a car charger into the contract for an extremely low price, and they made good on their promise to install it. It was installed on the 14th business day or 20th day after my contract was signed. And, I have been saving money with this great, name-brand, level 2 charger ever since that time. My Honda Clarity charges in around 2 to 2.5 hours (with a 17 kWh battery). After driving several PHEVs, I think the Honda Clarity is the best bang for the buck in terms of PHEVs right now. I got 36 panels and a car charger installed for under $30K with a 2 year, same-as-cash finance option (included in the $30K price tag). After tax incentives and such, I should be well under $20K for everything. And, I expect my ROI to be somewhere between 8 and 9 years. My average generation per day in the first week is between $5 and $6 per day (or roughly 66 kWh of total energy generated per day times 9.2 cents per kWh for RMP's lowest tier rate). So, it isn't a get-rich-quick scheme by any means. But, I expect to save somewhere between $1,500 and $1,800 per year on power. And, that should be good enough to cover my power expenses on a 3,500 sq. ft. home with a big family. With the 30% off in federal tax credits and $1,600 off in Utah State credits at tax time, how can you go wrong? Those credits are going down year over year, so I believe that the time to act is now. Go with SolarWholesale, and I think you are in good hands.
