regarding sub contracting

hi

we are new startup company installing solar and just wanted to find out if anyone knows how much would an electrician and roofer would charge to carry out the installation of solar pv. I look forward to hear from you soon

thanks

between £1500 and £2900, you need to be looking a lot deeper into this from the start. To be totally Frank you are not a new company installing solar, you are a new sales company thinking there is an opportunity, Oh boy how wrong are you, in the comming months 40% of installers will be seeing a downturn in the market that will actually effect their income / jobs.

Although I understand your are eager to join the solar community, most if not all have gotten here through understand and qualification of the product, can you provide good technical reasons as to why you should be given this information.

Trust me I am not hostile, I can be really passive,, if the answers match

So if you have no electrician and no roofer what technical expertise do you have within the company to undertake solar installations?

To ask such a question I would go back to the books mate. How longs a peace of string.......seriously we help people on here but we dont give it away !

I would advise you there is a lot more to solar than a lot of people think, Its not just stick them on the roof yes probably last year you could get buy now its another matter.

start by realing the REAL consumer guide then MCS documentation then come back.

No you guys have not scared me off. thanks for you advice ;-)

depends if you are signing off on your companies MCS or if you expect the roofer and spark to do it. also depends on the quality or the spark/roofer.. its a bit open ended. basically ring round and find out. not going to post rates on here.

work out where your strengths and weaknesses are and find strong partners. good luck.
