Labor is about 1/10th the cost in India compared to the states. This came up during our quarterly ISRO vs NASA commentaries. NASA engineers average $100,000+ while ISRO engineers make a whooping 600,000 rupee! Which is only about $10,000. I imagine the salary difference in the solar and construction industries are similar. Also the cost of land, high taxes, safety and environmental regulations, and other external factors that are less of an issue in third-world countries. Its simply not feasible to compare the cost of living and the cost of capital projects in one of the world's richest countries compared to one of its poorest. The same way you can't compare the cost of manufacturing domestically to manufacturing in, say, Vietnam where factory workers get paid $200 a month. Factory wages in the US are around $42.82/hour. http://thehigherlearning.com/2015/04/09/u-s-factory-workers-make-76-times-more-per-hour-than-workers-in-indonesia/ http://thehigherlearning.com/2015/04/09/u-s-factory-workers-...
