[QUOTE="lOOKnGO, post: 16914219, member: 93465"] Damn! A lot of haters in here. Look up the wages of solar installers compared to other trades. It's booming right now. The project I'm doing just had a 19k solar array installed. Crew of 4 show up at 10am unload a skidsteer and 14- 5foot ground screws. Then they lay out screw locations. Then take lunch for an hour. It's now 1pm. They start installing ground screws with a post hole digger attachment. 8 screws in one 6 screws in the other array. Trunk shows up with a small load of 3" EMT. They cut and erected main frame structures in 4 hours with trench to service panel 150 away. Next day they install panels and Inverters. Third day they pull wire and hook up. The owner is in his early 30's and the installers were late 20' early 30's and didn't work more the 5 hours a day. They company is booked out for a year and a half. $57,000 cost, costumer gets a 30 percent credit from the Feds. To my calculations the solar company is netting conservatively 23k per installation. Not bad for 60 - 70 total man hours. [/QUOTE]
