just taking a deposit for a 4kWp Viridian solar install at £10k.... hideously complex 3 roof retrofit to slate that's probably going to take 3 days, so we're still probably not going to make much off it even at that price, but it shows that some folk out there are prepared to pay for quality and aesthetics.

I also had a woman snap my hand off for giving her a ballpark figure of £6.5k for 4kWp dual roof, after she'd had a salesman round after a cold call, and another from some other company, then spent the night up til 3am researching it on the internet and found us being recommended on which local.

I've had to send someone out to buy another sales / quotes board as the 5 we've currently got running are all full, and we really need one specifically for new builds as we've got so many in the pipeline and they take so long to work through the system they're like bed blockers on our sales board.
 
We're getting a mini burst of enquiries/installs coming through which is nice. Not exactly sure why it is that we get these troughs and peaks in our enquiries though.
 
I'd like our customers to get themselves in an orderly queue and fill 40 of the 52 weeks in the next few weeks. Maybe santa will be good to us this year lol.

We are buzzing as well. We could be working some weekends to squeeze everyone in by Xmas.

Panasonics seem to be popular. We're often going for Power Ones with integrated DC isolators to save a bit of time.
