all im after, and ill tell what she was quoted!

 

[jupestar]

have walked away, just curious how someone can go that low on such a difficult job. its nearly as cheap as i did my dads for and i made nothing on that, i got no wages, only costs to him were the roofer,scaffold and the material. and his was straightforward!

[FONT=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]cause there salesman just sells at price list. doesn't discrimnate... the sales guy doesn't know it might need 70m 25mm swa, or two inverters... if the client is lucky the 'project manager' will highlight the job can't be done to his budget and return the deposit, if they are unlucky they'll get a cheap nasty install not to regs...

of course they could just be a really successful quality installer, which is so smooth, with so much volume that there precurement prices would make your eyes pop out..

5k was just for the kit she was buying direct.
didn't cover installation costs
As I read it

 

[tombennetts]

thats right, but she has had a quote almost as cheap as it was to do my dads by me!

 

[moggy1968]

Then you've lost nothing. Walk away knowing that.

No point working for nothing could stay at home and get that!

 

[moggy1968]

yep, got other things I can do

(found it for 5k including vat apparently, and they will supply to her) and pay us cash to install and certify!

A lot of PV suppliers do this. They don't understand the wholesaler/installer relationship and I simply will not use them.

Walk away. You wouldn't take a stack load of car parts and tell Ford to make you a car, would you?
