Default Thinking about going solar

Long time lurker, first post! My wife and I have always wanted solar. May be able in 1 year. Starting To investigate.
Southwest Az. Total electric. Rural. Well water 2 hp. Summer highs of 1900 kwh. Must have are electric when grid goes down or total off grid. Not uncommon 24-36 hrs grid down summer time! Ground mount must. Space no issue 60 acres. Want independence from the power co. If feaseable/economical.
Got first quote-gave a years of power usage. Did not follow our specs of power when grid down, ground mount, etc.
Quote is 8760 watts $29,801.00. Ground mount extra, no power when grid down, extras at discretion of installers, etc.
Enphase micro inverters, Conergy panels, Sq. D box, install by a different company.
I say run from this quote, if they can't follow wishes on paper how will they ever deliver?
What would you do? I am a farm/ diesel mechanic by trade, so fairly competent at DIY but no time for a project of this nature.
Thanks for you time and thoughts, Ross
