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.

They get less solar. If you only have 10k buy a 10k system. Systems can be expanded later on.

Otherwise people get loans.
