The guy that quoted me 50.00 an hour labor and I supplied all the materials was doing the entire plannning.
No Cydog15 there would be no interuptions on our part at all,that's why I sought out what I thought was a pro.
However in our case,this unlicensed "Pro" while wanting to charge us 50.00 an hour labor also said it would take him 26 to 36 hours to do this install.
Now I see where he has started a web site but it seems he preys on high end class A owners.
Now,I have an Amish friend who I recently found does these installs as well as the Amish are really getting into using solar.My Amish friend while again not licensed is very articulate and professional.I have known him 50 years and he quoted me 25.00 an hour and one day or approx 8 hours for the complete install and said I could interupt him with any questions I had.
Part of my original post was to try and show as well that there are people out there that will prey on those of us they think might be an easy hit.
The guy that thought he could charge me up to 36 hours and 50.00 an hour for what I had a good idea could be done for far less money and hours was someone I found on another forum type site run by a private individual.He is a fulltimer and I'll leave it at that.
Thanks for all of your input.
In my case,I decided to go with someone I trust and have known for 50 years who is giving me a fair price for the task and he is planning the system for us.
While he may not be licensed,I know where he lives and I know he will stand behind his work.
Thanks for all your input.
