You left out $2,000 for liability insurance for the installer to cover when the get sued in 5 years because one of the roof penetration screw holes leaked and the roof rotted.
They are not regulated, it's a Wild West, in 5 years most of them won't be around anymore. Besides, 6-7 year old plywood trailer is beyond any claims, there is often rot somewhere already. But he sure might try and sell you $2,000 "warranty" on top of his $3,000 charge.
Essentially this is a handyman's job. Once you know what parts you need, you just need to drive the screws and route the cables. The only mistake you could make is crossing Pos and Neg wires. They used to charge thousands, but rising competition (remember, this is not really a trade), and dropping panels prices are exerting downward pressure on labor as well. 20 years ago they were like magicians, today it's harder for them to run this roadside show, so admission prices dropped.
