Where can I find an electrician to install solar panels on roofs with me for less than $1000 per day?

Question

I've got about 3-5 days work per week for an electrician and I can't find one for less than $1000 per day. Can you help? Do you know someone? 0433622640

Answer 1

the barefoot college can help do this http://www.barefootcollege.org/prog_sola...

"Barefoot solar engineers have installed solar photovoltaic (SPV) home lighting systems and fabricated produced solar lanterns ... The results include:

Solar electrifying 300 adult education centres.

Solar electrifying 870 schools across the country.

3530 solar lanterns manufactured at the College.

28 villages have 40 Kws of solar panels that provide three hours of light in the bleakest winter to 1530 families.

In Leh and Kargil districts, solar energy initiatives have saved a total of 97,000 litres of kerosene.

392 rural youth including women trained as barefoot solar engineers with absolutely no aid from urban professionals.

350 villages and hamlets(clusters) have been covered where a total number of 12000 households have been solar electrified.

195,000 litres of kersoene saved, by replacing generators and oil lanterns with solar power.

All solar panels have been installed, maintained and repaired by the village people without the assistance of any paper qualified engineer."

Answer 2

Are you talking about "supply & install" or just " install"? I assume you are only talking about the labour content & also that 1 day equals 8 hours. If so, $1 000.00 @ 8 hours = $125.00 per hour. This is either the worlds most expensive electrician or there is something you are not telling us (maybe working at heights etc).

The most I would pay for an electrician in Australia is about $70.00 per hour...& even then, he would be the "pick of the bunch".

Where are you? What is the exact situation with regard to this installation? Is it dangerous work?
