    Looking for a SWAG for the labor cost to add 5 panels to existing SolarEdge inverter

    Could someone tell me what might be reasonable labor cost, assuming all the correct parts are available, to install the mounting racks, hook up the optimizers, and connect to inverter (or junction box on roof).

    Assumptions are:
    Near Palm Desert, CA (think outside San Diego)
    Existing solar inverter is already checked to make sure the inverter can handle the 5 new panels
    Flat roof with easy access (no ladders needed)
    Electrical Panel already check to be able to handle the extra solar load
    Need to add new stantions on flat roof for flat to roof install
    No extra permits needed

    Just throw out some wild guesses please.

      I'm going to guesstimate two people for 1 day of work.
      So I'm going to say about $2k in labor costs.
