SAP calculations and general misselling

[SolarCity]

To be fair, the comparison was with Suntech panels.

I think it's because Mitsubishi have the brand name - a bit like Sharp. They don't trust what they haven't heard of. We sometimes get that from the brand snobs. I'm not sure how you get round it - I bet the other company hasn't even PVSOL'd it. We're finding the 20 year inverter warranty is working well for us at the minute.

I hope the ----- falls off the roof.

I feel the same when I loose out on a job.

 

[SRE]

I do too, even though we couldn't possibly fit everything we quoted for - irrational really.

We've lost a couple recently to installers who were cheaper because they didn't use scaffolding - has this been happening everywhere else and we're just catching up??

It's there life, tbh I wouldn't do it any other way, unless it was a bungalow. Scaffold is only 300 quid roughly so you can't be that far out with your price surely?

We're paying around 450/500 for 2 storey x 9m for 4kwp, another £100 or so for edge protection and that's about £200 cheaper than anyone else in our area. One of our customers is a H&S consultant and she reckons the householder is liable if they fall off the roof because there's inadequate protection. We scaffold all our jobs even bungalows, I won't take any risks but some customers just aren't that bothered.
