HI All,<br>
<br>
I\u2019ve had a large company want to do a project and they want me to invoice it as follows. They said it had to do with knowing the cost of the system, but that doesn\u2019t seem right to me. Now I don\u2019t want to get screwed here, and it sure seems that could happen.<br>
<br>
I\u2019m pretty sure I know what you all will say, but I feel like I needed to get a bit of a reality check.<br>
As I mostly do projects on a handshake, dealing with large companies isn\u2019t too common for me.<br>
<br>
<br>
1. give them wholesale pricing ( line item by item)<br>
2. add margin, but small one is all they\u2019ll accept<br>
<br>
Project is an off grid, no permits, in Mexico, remote site and pretty big: 16kw inverter, 9kw PV, etc.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
