I'm sorry for posting this here. There isn't a solar panel instance, nor did I see anything for electricians. I know there's been a lot of gripe with certain solar companies (solgen being in litigation, and others) but I didn't hear much about freedom forever, since they're new to Seattle area where I'm doing this. Reddit seems to hate this company. But the price seems alright. I'm paying $22k for 7.4kw but getting it down to 15k after the state stipend. Less than $3 a watt which I'm guessing is really good. I'm planning to pay it off in 2 or 3 years. Not the full 25 which will cost me so much more. Can anyone point me in the right direction and if I'm making the right decision?

Isn't that just a 3.8Kw inverter though? You can input up to like 150% or so I think but you're only ever producing a max of 3.8.

I'm supposed to be getting an Enphase IQ8 micro inverter. I can't see a kw rating on that though when I look it up. It looks like they go directly with each panel.
