Is it me???

[SRE]

Just got some prices through from a wholesaler, they seem to have increased slightly from the projections in December. Planning for 43p already??

 

[Somecamel]

Can you blame them?

 

[SRE]

It makes pricing anything even more difficult for customers, how do you build in unknown price increases?

 

[Somecamel]

I hear you and I've been having the same problems. I have no idea how to set my pricing at the moment.

If the 43p does come back in, I would expect the suppliers to up their pricing as well to recoup some of their losses.

My prices will be higher as well- I've had a month of no work coming in now- Still got to pay wages.

What product are you looking for a price for?

 

[Somecamel]

A solar system

 

[Jaycee]

Ha ha!

Well if it panels you are after, I have over 300 Canadian solar 245w panels being delivered on Friday, at a very competitive price.

At the mo we have no ad's running 1 enquiry but don't think its got much legs on it. Really not sure what to do, times ticking on and overheads to pay !

Can we justify the higher price the market is pushing our margins south !

 

[Somecamel]

My running costs are £6k per month. I need to make that 6k back

I'm in a contract with the local radio station until March with sponsoring the weather, thats another £1300 a month.

A complete waste of time and money this has been

Finch, they are some quality competitive products out there, I think the days of sharp, santo etc are numbered, their panels just cost too much to make it viable for the end customers payback periods.

 

[finchy]

Somecamel you must have enquires ...that must be worth something !

 

[Jaycee]

81p per watt. If so how many do you need?

 

[finchy]

I'm just modelling, but the enquiry I'm playing with either 16 or 23 !

I have had good prices on sharp panels and prices are staying same at the moment but i agree if 43.3 comes back wholesalers are going to put prices up and blame somthing or another !

Sharp :lol:

You've have to pay me to take Sharp and double for installing them!!
