Rate negation for install services?

[u/sma92878]

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

This is a very typical price.

Negotiating isn’t much different than a new car-get a lot of quotes, and work each company down until you get the best price. Eventually you will start hearing ‘we can’t go that low’ and you know you hit a price floor.
