Why Is Solar Energy Much More Expensive in the US Than in China?
为什么美国太阳能比中国贵那么多?

In China, the total price for installing a residential solar system is around 4 RMB per watt, while in the US, it's about 4 dollars per watt. Customers ask why just a few panels could make such a big price difference.

在中国,一套家用太阳能系统安装下来,总价格在4人民币/瓦左右,而在美国,则在4美元每瓦左右。客户问,为何就是几块板子,怎么价格增加那么多。

In fact, in the United States, equipment is just one part of the entire solar system installation process. It accounts for only about $1 per watt (considering factors like import, logistics, storage, and taxes). The portion above $1 is all labor costs, including customer service costs, advertising costs, installer costs, designer costs, inspection costs, and management costs. Labor accounts for the majority.

事实上,在美国,对于整个太阳能系统安装过程,设备仅仅是其中一部分。大概仅仅占1美元/瓦左右(考虑到进口、物流、仓储、税费等因素)。而高于1美元以上的部分,都是人工成本。包括客服成本、广告成本、安装师傅成本、设计师成本、验收师傅成本、管理成本。人工占了大头。

If you install it yourself, it will be very cheap! However, you also need to consider your own costs.

如果你自己动手安装,那么将会十分便宜!不过,你也要考虑到自己的成本哦。
