I find the rough percent breakdown as you suggest is useful in getting them to
understand that they don't need those numbers or an itemized BOM before they
agree to do a project. There are many customers that think if total cost is X
and modules are Y that the cost to install is REALLY expensive
Wrenches
Its ironic this topic came up for me yesterday as well. As we have approached
the day where everything is online- pricing of our widgets from various
sources, its challenging for wrenches to not be transparent or to explain you
want to make X% margin on widgets.
But if someone buys th
This is all great stuff, and I would like to add one more "bon mot".
When I get into a situation where I am asked to break down my costs, or work
with a DIY client where they will purchase the hardware and have me install the
equipment...I gently steer the conversation to issues of quality of de

Jason,
Any customer is entitled to a Bill of Materials prior to signing a contract
to ensure that they get the make and model and quantity that was quoted,
but if they request an All-Risk Lump Sum price, they are not entitled to
know what each component costs. If they want to do it based on time an

with who i will work for.
that being said... we have a diy com

Jason,
As our Rates and Policies outline is posted on our website and
thus available for anyone to see, I can excerpt it for you on this
list. I encourage you not to worry about this market segment.
They're not your customer base. We seldom sell just components to
We are getting more and more people calling that want to provide their own
equipment and have us install it. It's frustrating, because usually they
are looking at prices for materials that either I would not consider
selling, or would not meet the mounting requirements of the Florida
Building Code.
Hi folks
You might also check peak volts. If memory serves correctly those older
inverters charged off peak volts not RMS.

It might be finding the voltage or frequency to high for itÂ’s liking.
Plug it directly into the generator of somewhere before the inver
For what it's worth, the Fluke is known to mistake harmonics for base
frequency. I would look to borrow for a scope or at least use a cheaper
meter that can accurately report the frequency. Try slowing the generator
to 59 Hz to see if the inverter likes it better.
