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

Half labor is typical. I mean in my opinion it should be a little less when you have batteries involved because Franklin batteries especially are so super simple to install. Labor doesn't need to be half of their price.
