<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Chris,<br><br></div>I have done this in the past. WI incentives used to require NABCEP cert. Looking back, i probably undercharged. Given that you are putting your reputation and certification on the line and therefor will need to be involved in design, planning, and inspection, i think that a percentage of the installed cost would be a good way to approach it. I see this service as very similar to a construction manager who typically receives 5-7% of project cost.<br><br></div>Just my .02<br><br></div>Kris<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 7, 2015 at 9:28 AM, Chris Schaefer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@solarandwindfx.com" target="_blank">chris@solarandwindfx.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Good Day All,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"> While I’m unsure how all states handle NABCEP, here in New York in order to obtain state incentives you or someone within your company must be a NABCEP PV professional. With the growth that our industry is experiencing there are more and more non-PV companies jumping into the scene. These companies are seeking out NABCEP individuals to add to their staffs without actually adding them to the payroll. My question to my NABCEP peers is what are you charging per project or how are you getting financially reimburse for your time/skills? Per watt, per project?
