[QUOTE="DJN008, post: 546639, member: 35998"] Morning, So I went to a job the other day, and the client wanted a ten panel installation with a 3.68kWh inverter, plus 10kWh'ish of batteries. We were then asked to trench out about 40 metres of ducting, plus the scaffold was to be three lifts high, by about ten metres wide, plus take up a patio and relay. I lost out to someone else, as they quoted £8K all in. Scaffolding alone was about £2K, so that my guys are working safely, and not off a ladder. Is this a common thing where perhaps non MCS are quoting silly prices, and putting themselves in danger from falling..? I cannot see that any MCS installer would cut corners trying to lift panels three floors up from a ladder. It has taken me months to get approved by MCS (approved in writing but awaiting final QS sign off). Let alone the cost involved. Anyones thoughts on this would be appreciated, as it seems people are willing to risk their neck to make little or no money. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
