Our work includes many facets and we are frequently asked the question of how we charge for our services. Our charging structure allows us to bill fairly and directly generating an end cost savings for our customers.
Residential customers
We charge for your site assessment and then apply that against your purchase, this is available for all of our pre designed systems.
For those integrating, separate systems like geothermal and solar, wind or other combinations (except grid tie) the time and or communication etc, to design the installation is billed separately. Milage that is charged on assesments is not able to be applied to your credit
Parts and Do it your-self ers.
We are happy to supply any parts or panels you may wish, but the price of parts does not include consultation or design on any aspect. Consultation is available, but not included.
Commercial installations.
A consultation is necessary to assess the building, electrical service (or plumbing) and the location, this is billed out as required. The cost varies with the complexity of the job and the type of report requested. Regular consultation rate applies for the report and design rate for system specifications.
On jobs where bid(s) are requested, Boyd Solar charges a bidding fee. The fee varies according to the scope and size of the project and submission requirements. Bidding is a costly process that uses our most experienced employees, and we are up front about that. This fee is beneficial to you, the tenderer, since no associated costs from the bidding process are carried into the project costs and you are paying for one bid, no prior costs from lost bids have to be recovered from your project. You are assured of a higher quality project since a charging bid winner is not attempting to recover those costs out of your project. Paying for your bid has also made bids more accurate since the time can be taken to correctly assess all aspects of the project.
We require a Purchase Order to begin the bidding process, and reserve the right to withdraw from the bidding if, at our discretion, the proposal is flawed or poorly designed, and will do so at the least cost possible to you.
Extras or changes are not included, and the time and materials are billed for on an ongoing basis. (monthly on longer jobs)
Over due accounts are charged 2% per month.
Please note: We do this because we keep our accounts current and late accounts require us to borrow to cover your materials. We only pass this cost onto the late payer and require them to be paid. So please be prompt.
