A proposal from Daylight is written to be compared: scope, allowances and schedule, each on its own line.
How a proposal is built.
We separate the scope from the allowances and the schedule, so you can see what a figure buys and what would move it. Permits, engineering and inspections are listed where they apply, never folded into a number you cannot check.
- Which items are allowances, and what happens when a selection exceeds one?
- How are permits, engineering and inspections shown in the proposal?
- What would change the price after the contract is signed?
Put this perspective into practice.
Each guide below covers what the service involves and the questions worth bringing to your site assessment.
Existing-system review
A complimentary review of a system installed by anyone, covering condition, output against estimate and warranty paperwork.
- What should the site assessment and written scope establish for existing-system review?
- How do roof condition, shading, usage and utility interconnection affect the proposed design?
- Which production assumptions, tariff terms, incentives, financing costs and battery limitations need independent verification?
Rooftop solar
Rooftop arrays designed from your usage and a shading study, with a production estimate, permits and interconnection handled.
- What should the site assessment and written scope establish for rooftop solar?
- How do roof condition, shading, usage and utility interconnection affect the proposed design?
- Which production assumptions, tariff terms, incentives, financing costs and battery limitations need independent verification?
Electrical panel planning
A complimentary review of your electrical panel and service, so upgrades are planned before the array, not discovered after.
- What should the site assessment and written scope establish for electrical panel planning?
- How do roof condition, shading, usage and utility interconnection affect the proposed design?
- Which production assumptions, tariff terms, incentives, financing costs and battery limitations need independent verification?
