I'm ok with ground mount. The roof has a shallow pitch and my dad angled the house away from true south. It will be easy to adjust pitch and clean the panels this way, plus they should stay cooler/more efficient.
Curious what your cost per watt ended up being, your own labor excluded?
Tesla's website is estimating a much lower cost compared to the quote above. $25k for an 11.4kW system before any incentives. Of course, that probably assumes roof mount and optimal engineering to fit it all. Maybe I'll get a quote from them too.
