Is it worth the solar panels I'm getting?

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?

Seems high. I paid about that much for 7kw panels, 6kw inverter, and 15kwh batteries. You aren't getting the batteries, which are about $4k installed. Texas

I wonder if Seattle is just more expensive. $3/watt is the average here per online info. That's just the panel inverter install.

PSE is also doing a 1 to 1 net metering.

I paid 26k for 8.4kw three years ago from A&R solar in Seattle.
