If you have experience replacing roof tiles or installing roof tiles, anchoring the brackets is a no-brainer feat. The 5 KW system would cost you at most a one and a half day job to mount the panels. Then you simply hire an electrician for inserting the circuit breakers for the inverters on your main circuit board. That would cost anywhere from $120 to $250 installation. Most solar PV have instructions on how to connect wires panel by panel, that part you can do, but for the main circuit board for a grid-tied PV, you would need an electrician. So the total installation cost would only be 1 1/2 day of your labor plus $250 for the electrician, perhaps $200 for the permit from the city. So total of no more than $700 installation cost. Problem is that the DIY method are often not certified for rebates. I hope there is a program for certifying the DIY providing that you hire professional technician. The tiled roof are one of the easiest to mount solar PV if you have these brackets that can be anchored in between overlapping tiles, they are naturally leak proof due to the way they are arranged. An installation with a solar PV company would charge you anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 not including the price of the panels, while if you do it yourself, would cost you less than $700.

It is good step for Solar Red to reduce their prices of installation, even then, it is a very lucrative installation job. Unlike other solar PV installers, greed has no bounds, and so they charge an arm and a leg for the price of being green. They charge exorbitantly because they know you have the rebates, and they want to have it all plus you dole out more.

That leads to a question about what to do with the old panels. Will we see outdated solar panels shipped off to developing countries, as we have often seen with old computers?
