jay, My view: My cost is no ones business but mine. You either pay what I charge for materials and labor or go elsewhere. FYI, with that position I still have a continual 1-2 month waiting list of people waiting to pay for our services.
Being on the Mexico border, I’ve had a few developers contact me for large PV solar power systems for RV parks and small communities in Mexico. They want quotes and lots of info; lots of my time. A few years ago I decided to charge a large refundable consulting fee to discuss any details for systems like that. No takers. And, these projects never get done either as they were just fantasies to begin with.

They said it had to do with knowing the cost of the system, but that doesn’t seem right to me. Now I don’t want to get screwed here, and it sure seems that could happen. I’m pretty sure I know what you all will say, but I feel like I needed to get a bit of a reality check. As I mostly do projects on a handshake, dealing with large companies isn’t too common for me. 1. give them wholesale pricing ( line item by item) 2. add margin, but small one is all they’ll accept Project is an off grid, no permits, in Mexico, remote site and pretty big: 16kw inverter, 9kw PV, etc. Thanks jay peltz power _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
