They are rather expensive but the most expensive piece is not the panels. It is the controls and the inverter. It does pay off after a while but the up front cost is prohibitive - for now.
Hi Only1, I actually just enrolled in a quick seminar next week provided by an inverter manufacturer, it about four hours long and will be a chance to tour their facility (I’m sure it is mainly a sales pitch) and collect a few CEUs for $30.
I’ve installed two commercial systems last year and the wiring was a couple days labor. The arrays were installed from out of state PV guys, hoping to have a one stop operation next spring.
As far as price goes - we’re being taxed right now to build a fund to subsidize the industry, so for me it’s a case of remaining unemployed (construction is dead - the 25 year building boom is dead) or tapping into the fund as a self employed installer. I actually think being a small local company competing with the larger national outfits will work in my favor.
