How do people afford the upfront cost of solar? (lemmy.world)

I just got a DIY kit quote for solar and it's ~$18,000. That would mean a contractor installing is at least $25,000 if not more. That's a big chunk of change upfront.

Does that mean you receive that much as a refund on your taxes, or is that much a write-off? Write-offs are worthless if you don't itemize and have enough write-offs to surpass the standard deduction.
