I would suggest you get at least one other quote to compare.
Here are some other quotes and discussions from people in VA for comparison…
We are in Lexington, Virginia, USA. I got a quote from Altenergy Solar Energy Solutions out of Staunton, VA, USA. They have quoted a 12.915kW Solar PV Project.
Panels: (41) Canadian Solar 315W Solar Modules - 25 year manufacturer’s warranty

Performance based on conditions (some shade in late day): 11,508 kWh
Project cost: $33,467 (before tax credit)
Image of roof with panels: [13%20PM]
