Every system I've seen quoted by solar companies are ~7KW and always cost $25K.
That's about $3.50 a watt. Solar used to be over $6+ a watt. That's a normal and good price, but please continue to tell us more about it

...and they always give you a very conservative power output which virtually guarantees your output never drops below the estimate.
Tell me how they come to the estimated power since there's an easy formula to figure it out. Don't Google, since you know it all.

My guess

the equipment: panels, inverters (and I assumed micro inverters), roof brackets and install hardware costs the installer about $12,000 at most. Meaning you're getting charged $13,000 in installation/profit charges.
You don't know shite, but that's not really a surprise is it? And oh no, a company who installs solar dares to make money? The horror!

Considering I have contractor pricing from several Solar reps, yeah, I do know shite. Being a overbearing dick here doesn't prove your point.
And yes, they will use PV Watts to generate an expected return based on historical data. However, they will use a higher system loss % to account for output reduction over whatever they warranty.
I'm not saying they shouldn't make money, a-hole, but when they are pushing REBATE in everyone's face to convince people that it's a good deal, then they suck, when it really isn't.
You sound like some petty installer who is using the rebate as a way to make a shitload more and providing your clients far less than they can actually get for the same $5,000 after the rebates.
