3 FAQs about Solar container communication station solar panel installation labor cost

How much does solar installation cost?

According to the NREL data above, installation typically accounts for 5.5% of the total cost of a residential solar project, so this equation will get you a ballpark figure for labor costs. For example, if you receive a solar quote for $25,000, you can expect labor to make up around $1,375 of the all-in cost.

How much does solar cost per watt?

To put that in perspective, using the a modeled market price (MMP) of $2.95 per Watt for residential solar, labor costs contributed just 16 cents per Watt of solar capacity installed. That's tied with structural balance of system (racking) for the second smallest piece of the solar cost pie, as shown below.

What is NLR's PV cost benchmarking work?

NLR analyzes the total costs associated with installing photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential rooftop, commercial rooftop, and utility-scale ground-mount systems. This work has grown to include cost models for solar-plus-storage systems. NLR's PV cost benchmarking work uses a bottom-up approach.
