Just watched the YouTube vid from Artisan electrician - along the lines of the advice on this thread. Useful stuff.

He also points out what I'm struggling with, which is knowing what you can charge. Would be useful to know what other experienced solar contractors are charging to work on commercial solar installations / farms? Send me a PM if you don't want it public

Seems a little cheap but it's a good starting point.
