The problem with the ultra cheap installers is that they unconditionally keep
the RECs. They then get sold to high carbon polluters to offset their
emissions. Its better to go with an installer that will give you the option of
keeping the RECs. They're worth $900 but in your hands you can consider them as
money in the bank. Stick them in your drawer so the polluters can get hold of
them. If you don't keep the RECs you are doing squat to reduce emissions and in
fact are emitting more CO2 through manufacture, transport and installation of
the system.
Cheers.

Subject: [ClimateChangeAction] Solar installation opportunity
Those interested in a 1000 watt photovoltaic installation on their
rooftops have an small window of opportunity left. Time is running out
fast so please act immediately.
I've not deeply studied the web information but because of the
government's $8000 assistance package it seems you get your first
kilowatt virtually free - and you can add more solar modules later.
Unfortunately, the cost of such modules is still, in my opinion,
extremely high - around $9 per watt.
All that yakka over the decades that the price of solar modules is
coming down seems baloney to me.
This opportunity allows you to feed the power grid with rooftop energy
via an inverter. Because no batteries are involved you can't
blackout-proof your home.
