Solar Quote-Help Choosing Solar Install

I am planning on putting solar on my house. I’ve received 4 quotes. All have been pretty similar but I have one cheap outlier. Wondering if I could just get some advice moving forward. The outlier is considerably less than the other quotes. From what I can see they are a smaller family run business who have always specialized in off grid installations, but have always done grid tie ins as well. They have good reviews and have been in business for about 25 years. It’s the one company I haven’t done a walk through with yet.

Company A- The cheap one. SEG Yukon panels. AP Systems micro inverters. 12.32Kw. $22,340

Company B- The one I initially planned on going with. 12.88Kw. REC 460AA. Enphase IQ8x micro inverter. $30,295

Company C- 11.76KW. Silfab panels. IQ8m micro inverters. $27,890

Company D- 12.87Kw. Hyundai Panels. AP Sytems micro inverters. $32,000. This was my first received bid. After I got other bids, he agreed to change to Enphase inverters and drop the price to $30k. Not too excited about this as after getting other quotes and doing some reading this quote seemed a bit heavy for what I was getting.

Any advice would be appreciated. Just trying to cover all my bases before deciding. The consensus seems to be that Enphase is the best route to take as far as inverters go, but wondering if I should wait another week to do another walk through with the cheaper company. I would definitely get a quicker return on my investment.
