    more than double what it would cost at market rate

    I definitely paid more for labor than for materials. My payoff time is about 13 years with a Tesla Powerwall 3, maybe a bit less now that I have an EV. I had a team of 4 guys plus an electrician here for about five days.

    I did go with a slightly more reputable company that charged slightly more, but I would have gone elsewhere if it was a huge difference.

    Maybe I should get around to making a post in [email protected] or something, even though it isn’t very punk.

      I’m factoring in labor. It was an extremely bad deal - they were praying on the fact most home owners do not have familiarity with solar installation pricing.

      Like I said, I would love to still do it on my own, but it just doesn’t make sense for our household.
