i'm down with solar robots, but this is definitely one of those problems that's only a problem because of overly restrictive immigration laws. installing panels is pretty easy, there are tons of people who would be delighted to come to the US and install for $20/hr.

source : have a solar engineering firm in Kenya, and have never had problems with panel installation labor (QA is another story).

How did this become about immigration? A lot of americans would also do it for $20 an hour.

Have you ever seen a non-hispanic landscaper in the desert southwest metropolitan areas? Me neither.

Now try to find ANYBODY willing to work out in the middle of the Mojave or Sonoran deserts. Espero que hables bien español.

Hispanic!= Immigrants. Much of the southwest was formerly even part of Mexico, many of those people didn't even move in the history of the US.

Try talking to a landscaper anywhere in the desert southwest and see for yourself. Not the guy who has his name on the truck because there are a few natives who still own the business because inglesa, talk to the guys actually doing the work out in the sun. 100% Hispanic immigrants.

I haven't used their product, but in a former life I had these guys as a customer: https://raptormaps.com/

It seemed like a pretty solid idea re: the QA part.
