  • million solar roofs

    Amanda Griscom Little's article about Schwarzenegger's solar initiative raises the question of whether prevailing wages should be paid to the people who install the panels. Of course they should! She says that can increase the labor cost of the work 30-40 percent. Okay, but what's the overall cost increase? In a typical solar job, how much is labor, how much is materials, permits, etc.? It's an important detail, and we can't assess the importance of the dispute without knowing the amounts we're talking about.On Schwarzenegger's solar-roof plan could get sidelined by partisan squabbling posted 4 years, 5 months ago 3 Responses
