And labour.. I just got an offer to cover two houses next to each other and the scaffolding is 15k CHF.

Even if the panels were 2x the efficiency, it wouldn't make renting the scaffolding, or getting workers on site any cheaper.
we have a """problem""" of physical labor being too expensive. I put it in question marks as I have no solution (I don't want to rob people of their primary income source), but it's really getting out of hand.

I had two spigots installed on an already there pipe, on two ends. 1100 chf. material cost was 400, the rest is labor at 125/h.

So I just tend to learn a lot of this stuff from YouTube, but obviously I do a lot worse job than someone doing this for years as a living.
