How to select your SunGen Packages 10. The Quote page has many key components as well as many useful tools. It is important that all fields are filled out ACCURATELY! 11. The first step is to choose the proper SunGen package on the quote. Typically we want to offer 50%, 75% and 100% options each one will be a separate quote on the project. Note: to accurately give a customer a proposal with 3 options, you need ONE project and THREE quotes against that project. ACCOUNT PROJECT Quote #1 Quote #2 Quote #3 12. As a new SUN Advisor, it is difficult to determine which package is right for the customer, there are 2 major considerations: a. The roof space of the customer s home (i.e. how many panels can you fit on the roof). b. The size of their bill. You don t want to oversize a system so that we are more than 120% covering their bill. You can use the following sample chart as a guide to writing a 50-75-100% bill offset proposal (good for typical rate schedules in CA). **Be advised, this chart is only a guide and should not be relied upon as a sole proposal tool. Package selection varies on orientation, tilt, rate schedules, customer usages, tiers, etc.
a. Locate your client s monthly KW usage in the Avg. KWh/month column. b. Select three SunGen packages which approximately correspond to the KW output in the SunGen package column. c. To select a package for the quote, you can search available SunGen packages by clicking the magnifying glass located in the design details section of your quote page. (see snapshot)
d. The following chart gives an example of a Sharp SunGen package search. Left clicking the package will load the package to your quote page. e. You will need to fill out a number of other fields as well: a. Sales Tax rate: Use look up tax rates tab to determine local rates. b. Markup for products and labor. Defaults are entered, please modify the markup to suit your businesses needs c. Estimates for permits, shipping again defaults are provided, though you should modify this for your particular situation d. Labor Override if you wish to simply put in a flat rate labor, NOT based on total watts, use this field and the Labor per DC watt field will be ignored e. Enter the amount of the commission typically 5% of the gross system cost
Baseline Lookup 13. Use the lookup baseline tab to determine the proper summer and winter baselines. 14. Select your customer s utility provider. (i.e. for PG&E select baseline map). 15. On the baseline quantities map page (see below) move your cursor over the area which corresponds to your customer.
16. Determine if the utility is gas and electric (code B), all electric (code H), or all gas. 17. Multiply baselines by the number of billing days which can be found on the monthly bill. For example: a code B baseline in PGE area Q would have a summer baseline of 8.3 and a winter baseline of 12.6. You would then multiply that number as follows: 30 x 8.3 = 249 for summer and 30 x 12.6 = 378 for winter. On the quote page enter 249 for the summer baseline and 378 for the winter baseline. Drag mouse over map Calculate Rebate and Production 18. From the quote page, select the EPBB calculator. 19. Select current calculator as shown on the following snapshot.
20. The screen below, which has a number of useful drop-down lists, will appear. The inverter model, the number of modules, and the module type can all be found under the list of components for the SunGen package. Upon completion of the form select the go button.
21. Make sure to accurately input the data which corresponds to each section. You may find it useful to fit windows side by side for easier data transfer.
