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.

That depends on whether your local electricity generating method outweighs the environmental impact of manufacturing the panels. If your local generator is coal, probably. If your local generator is already wind, solar, hydro, or nuclear, probably not.
