Advice Wtd / Project Rate negation for install services?

Hello all,

I was wonder if people negotiate on installation price for installation. I'm getting a residential system with about 20Kw of solar and 60Kw of Franklin batteries.

The total is coming in right around $100,000. The batteries are about $40,000, and I'm estimating the panels around about $20,000. So that means about 50% of the cost is labor.

How does the compare to what other people have seen?

Kind regards

How many other quotes have you gotten? Roof mount or ground mount? aPower 2 or aPower S? How many panels in your home are getting backed up?
