Full Home Systems
of 4, 6, 9 and 12 panels
done very inexpensively...
Panels
run between $140 and $240 these days (each)... At the time of this
edit, my favorite 345 watt panel runs $199. Twelve would be $2,388,
for a solar array with a power rating of 4,140 watts per hour, for a MAX daily total of 20,700 USABLE
watts. (Based
on a
5 hour max sun angle per day; but panels still produce some before and
after that time.) We figure on
15,525 average per day PLUS.
GOOD
AGM batteries cost from $300 to $700 each (they are expensive in my
book), depending on type and size. My
lowest priced 48 volt battery bank (lead acid), which has an astounding power
rating of 16,800 TOTAL watts (Note: only half of that
usable) costs only $3,400! We also have the biggest baddest 48
volt battery in solar use; the MTS
Power Monster... The
battery has a minimum rated USABLE capacity of 31.6 kilowatt hours,
for $6,900, with an central irrigation system included.
Controllers
run about $500
and Inverters
(24 & 48 volt) run from $850 to $3,000 depending on how much
you want to pull at a time... The best split phase 120/240 6000 watt
unit runs $1,200.
These and
can handle a 3x surge of up to 20 seconds!
Panels
and batteries are local, so no shipping and customs time to deal with,
and there are no taxes
on the panels and Monster Battery, as solar is
IVU exempt with proper form filled out. OTHER BATTERIES are NOT IVU
exempt.
"Base"
installation is figured by $180 times number of panels, plus $400 for
control room hookup. Anything additional will be "estimated" (custom
racks, special case
panel mount construction, or very troublesome wire runs). Most times it
is just the basic stuff, and you can even hire others to do some of the
ground work for less money. So, "base"
labor price for the average 12 panel
installation would be just $2560.
Solar
design and analysis for 12 or less panels, in an average configuration,
is included in the figures and no charge up front (basically done when
I do your free estimate).
So,
you see the cost for the basic average 12 panel system will run around
$16,000 to $18,000... after installation with GOOD battery.
One
final note... If Master Tech does your installation in Puerto Rico, you will only pay dealer
or distributor COST
for your equipment and harware! We charge absolutely NO MARKUP.

RATES...
Rates are
as fair as anyone would
enjoy, and we've been known to do quite a bit of volunteering of
services as well (when it is appropriate, or someone is in trouble).
As
we are known as the troubleshooting specialists, most diagnostic
work is "on the clock" based on the following hourly, usually broken
into tenths of an hour. "Speed Diagnostics" is time by the minute:
- Hourly Rate - When
Applies: $80 (land rate -
marine rate below)
- Job Minimum: $80.00 per
JOB (first 30 minutes of diagnostics included)
- MOST Jobs by Flat Rate Estimate after
initial diagnostics
- Travel Time: $40.00 per hour (only applies
to certain jobs & off VQS)
- Materials retrieval; $40 per trip on VQS -
$350 per trip main island.
- Marine Hourly Rate: $120.00
Again,
MOST work is done on a
flat-rate, where you will get an estimate
in advance of start of work. Diagnostics is based on hourly above, as I
have no idea when I get there how long it will take to find a problem. YOUR BIGGEST BENEFIT is
the fact that I am considered on of the fastest Diagnosticians in the
business.
