Not to hijack the thread but it seems like getting a HELOC and working with a local electrician is the way to go. Better interest rate and no middle man.Has anyone done this?

Biggest reason to go with an installer is because they should know how to install the panels on your roof while minimizing damage. An electrician would be able to wire it up, but you should be installing them yourself.

Honestly, if I had the time and energy, I would probably build a stand-alone solar array, as a patio cover, somewhere in full sun away from my house. That would be worth doing on HELOC and electrician

A lot of my solar customers have gotten a HELOC to finance their project.. working with a local company is the way to go.

That's what I'm using for mine.
