> In the US we suffer from high demand in a small market allowing installers to inflate the system prices considerably. We should be paying less than $2/watt installed, but you see quotes for like $4-$8/watt all the time because these companies get to pick their customers. While I agree in general, your numbers seem off. In expensive Northern California I regularly see systems running $3-4/watt, not $4-8.
