How this Solar Panel estimate is calculated
The calculator combines its stored materials or equipment component, labor-hour assumptions, permit component, project size, and selected quality level. It then applies the stored Iowa factor of 0.90 and Ames labor factor of 1.05.
These factors adjust the calculator model; they are not reported contractor prices, market surveys, or guaranteed local quotes.
