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.
This compact power station costs $3,299 but offers “only” 2,200W and a battery capacity of 2,160Wh. Also, you can only charge it with Solar Saga portable panels. If that doesn't bother you, you'd love to hear that this compact powerhouse weighs only 43 lbs. 3. Goal Zero Yeti 3000X
Even in rural areas of North Carolina or California, places where demand for small solar sites still remain high, rent over $1,000/acre would be common by a substation with capacity. However, bigger tracts over 100 acres tend to rent at $300 to $500 an acre across Texas and normally around the $500/acre range across most of the Southeast.
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.
