The usual battery storage & solar job is filed at $14,000; the middle half of firms usually file between $14,000 and $26,000. The 10 firms with the most permits in the last 12 months usually file $12,000, less than the usual. See every firm's usual job

Why is this different from the per-watt prices I see online?

Online prices are quoted per watt. A filed value is one number for the whole job on one permit, often many watts plus the work around them, and the Mesa file does not record how many each job covered, so we can't turn $14,000 into a price per watt.

Do bigger houses get bigger bills?

In the file, yes for the firms: those working on the upper third of homes by value usually file $14,500, the lower third $12,000. That is firms, not single jobs.
