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.

Solar really isn’t for the masses quite yet. If you do they math you will realise that it’s only a gimmick to get the 0 dollar electricity bills. The only reason I can see is to be able to go off the grid
And doing at least something little for the climate.
That depends on whether your local electricity generating method outweighs the environmental impact of manufacturing the panels. If your local generator is coal, probably. If your local generator is already wind, solar, hydro, or nuclear, probably not.
If properly engineered, the ability to have some power when the grid is down is a big selling point.
