I think you suggest to do some work myself in order to reduce the cost. I can ask the firm if this would be an option. If not, then I would have start looking for an independent electrician if I want a cost reduction.

Other options for improving ROI is to get an EV with few more panels added to the system. I can see that in some future but not right now.

I could ask the firm if replacing of the gas water heater with electric would improve ROI numbers. The heater is old and will need replaced in the future. (hybrid heat pump are nice but in our house they do not have the required room volume to work well).

Here in Missouri there is only the federal tax incentive and poor Net Metering Rate for summer 2.68¢/kWh and winter 2.47¢/kWh
