Looking for PV Solar system installer
 
I'm looking for a contractor to install a PV solar system on the roof of my house in Summerfield. To make the economics work, I need to get down to a price of $1.75 per installed watt. I haven't found anyone yet. Can someone recommend a contractor who would do a quality installation with quality equipment at somewhere near that price? I've had good luck with Enphase microinverters, so I'm looking to go that way. As a general rule, any contractor that uses commission-based sales personnel are probably too expensive. For my first two PV solar installations, I dealt directly with the owner.

For a small, residential application, $1.75/Watt is about the cost of the panels, w/o installation.

I don't agree with your general rule that commission-based sales personnel sell a more expensive product. The reason for hiring commission-based sales people is to increase volume and lower the cost. If salespeople were not worth the commissions, companies wouldn't hire them.
