As most other work is pap at the moment and handymen galore are winning jobs I'm figuring (as plenty of you probably have) that it's time to get specialist or get out. But before pumping a load more money into more courses and schemes it'd be daft to not appeal to the helpful side of all of you and ask whether or not it's worth it, ie is there any more money in PV installs and is the work out there?
I've had a good look around and there's no one available locally doing them here, so most will be going with national companies. If anyone knows a rough breakdown of what Eon charge for example that would be great, other than that I'll have to waste their time and get a quote. The main unknown I have is how much labour is worth with one of these installs, as unless it's at least £300/day I don't think it's the way to go.
I appreciate this is a public forum so if anyone is uncomfortable with posting a PM would be very much appreciated. I just can't get over the feeling that many might have signed up hoping for loads of work, when in reality there is only going to be a handful of jobs over the year, and it has to be well worth all the outgoings for me to consider.
I know it's asking a lot as many of you have taken the gamble yourself but I want to go into it with my eyes at least half open! I've attached a poll too as it might be useful for others wanting an anonymous opinion. Thanks a lot all of you
