I make too much money in my full time job to do this on the side.

I'll design and install stuff for friends, but that's it.

Well that's cool. Solar companies aren't just raping people though. You doing this for a friend means you have no overhead. You can do 1 job and the means to do it isn't that crazy and you can take time. You order the parts for 1 job. When a company is installing nearly 200 jobs a month, you have to have a lot of insurance coverage, admin, engineers, installers, products in a warehouse, office space, etc etc. And customers want that installed in 1 day and for these solar companies to take care of all paperwork including the utilities, permits, and HOA's. Comparing what a "mom and pop" can do as far as 1 job a month to 200 isn't fair.

ETA: And I should add the 10 year install warranty I got with mine. You gonna cover your buds forever?
